Depending on the drift reduction classes for the equipment stated below, the following buffer zones must be kept from surface waters. In addition to the minimum buffer zone from surface waters stipulated by state law, the ban on application in or in the immediate vicinity of waters must be observed at all times for drift reduction classes marked with "*". |

| NW701 |
Between treated areas which have an incline of more than 2 % and surface waters - including periodically but excluding occasionally water-bearing surface waters - there must be a buffer zone under complete plant cover. The buffer zone's protective function must not be impaired by the use of implements. It must be at least 10 m wide. This buffer zone is not necessary if: -sufficient catching systems are available for the water and soil transported by run-off, which do not flow into surface water or are not connected with the urban drainage system or -the product is used for conservation or no-tillage methods. |

In this case, the minimum buffer zone for field crops
stated in the BVL publication in the Federal Gazette (No 2 of 27 April 2016, BAnz AT 20 May 2016 B5) must be observed. |
