Spraying of Chemical(s) on sides of highways in NL

[D.Noble]

I was recently informed that there is spraying program on sides of the highways in NL, they are using one chemical called tordon 101 often referred to as "agent white" which is detrimental to aquatic life and mammals, I have lots of questions about this practice, here are a few. Is anyone aware of which areas are being sprayed ? is there a buffer zone around rivers ? do the correct weather conditions for spraying have to be observed as suggested with these chemicals ? what is the affect on ground water ? what department is monitoring this ?
