Tarps
Soil fumigant applications can qualify for buffer zone reduction credits if applicators use tarps that are highly impermeable to soil fumigants. For further information:
Required Tarps
Products containing the active ingredient dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) require the use of certain specific tarps. These tarps are listed on the Tarp DMDS page. No credits are provided for the use of those tarps because buffer zones on DMDS labels are based on the use of one of the required tarps.
Tarps that Qualify for Buffer Reduction Credits
The tarps listed below qualify for buffer zone credits for soil fumigant products that contain the following active ingredient(s). Only the listed tarps have been tested for permeability and determined by EPA to qualify for buffer zone reduction credits.
- Methyl Bromide and Chloropicrin
- Chloropicrin
- Chloropicrin and 1,3-dichloropropene
- Metam Sodium or Metam Potassium
- Methyl Isothiocyanate
DISCLAIMER: This list of tarp products is provided solely for determining soil fumigant buffer zone credits in accordance with soil fumigant product labels. The identification of these commercial products or services, their source, or their use is not to be construed as either an actual or implied endorsement of any such product or service.
Methyl Bromide and Chloropicrin
For products that contain both methyl bromide and chloropicrin, the listed tarps qualify for buffer zone credits as specified below.

Tarps that qualify for a 25 feet buffer zone distance (B25 tarps)
The Agency is adding a new category of tarps that qualify for a 25-ft buffer zone distance for chloropicrin, called B25 tarps. This new tarp category comprises tarps that meet an average mass transfer coefficient of 0.0001 cm/hr or lower at ambient relative humidity. These tarps qualify for a 25-ft minimum buffer zone distance based on the results of a 2012 study on chloropicrin emissions while using new tarp technology conducted near the town of Lost Hills, California (Ajwa, 2012; MRID 48917601). For more information, see EPA’s Lost Hills Study Summary Report.

Tarps that qualify for a 25 feet buffer zone distance (B25 tarps)
The Agency is adding a new category of tarps that qualify for a 25-ft buffer zone distance for chloropicrin and 1,3-dichloropropene, called B25 tarps. This new tarp category comprises tarps that meet an average mass transfer coefficient of 0.0001 cm/hr or lower at ambient relative humidity. These tarps qualify for a 25-ft minimum buffer zone distance based on the results of a 2012 study on chloropicrin and 1,3-dichloropropene emissions while using new tarp technology conducted near the town of Lost Hills, California (Ajwa, 2012; MRID 48917601). For more information, see EPA’s Lost Hills Study Summary Report.
