V. SHELF LIFE
The recommended shelf life of S-200C is 1½ years if kept in the unopened original container.

VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Application Method: S-200C is a light amber liquid, and as such can be sprayed with traditional liquid spraying equipment, such as pressurized sprayers or backpack sprayers. 2. Concentration/Application Rate: The recommended application rate is approximately 10% by volume of the S-200C as compared to the hydrocarbon being remediated. In other words, use 1 pound of S-200C for every 10 pounds of hydrocarbon you are remediating. For applications on soil contaminated below 1 foot, the soil is turned and the material is applied. This allows air to circulate and thereby maintains an aerobic condition. On a surface application, the amount to use is approximately 0.1 to 1 pound of S-200C for every square yard of surface area. The amount sprayed is dependent on the amount of hydrocarbon on the surface you are spraying. To remediate a sheen on water, the same application ratio for a surface application is used. 3. Conditions for Use: S-200C is a bioremediation accelerator used for the remediation of hydrocarbon spills or leaks. It is a non-intrusive, cost effective remedy for the cleanup of these hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons include but are not limited to gasoline, No. 2 to No. 6 diesel fuel, jet fuels, kerosene, lubricating oils, hydraulic oils, and crude oils.

VIII. MICROBIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
1. Listing of all microorganisms by species and percentages in the composition: S-200C is a nutrient bioremediation accelerator and does not contain bacterial cultures or amendments. However, with the addition of S-200C, the microbiological data shows a continued viability of microbial incubations over time. 2. Optimum pH, temperature, and salinity ranges for use of the additive: pH: 7.0 Temperature: 86ºF Salinity: Fresh to salt water 3. Minimum and maximum pH, temperature, and salinity levels below or above which the effectiveness of the additive is reduced to half its optimum capacity: pH: 4.5 - 10.0 Temperature: 50ºF - 120ºF Salinity: 0% - 10% 4. Special nutrient requirements: NA 5. Test results regarding the determination of the presence of the following: Salmonella: Negative Fecal coliform: Negative Shigella: Negative Staphylococcus Coagulase positive: Negative Beta hemolytic Streptococci: Negative
