How to comply with the new New York State lawn fertilizer law |
|
New York State passed a new law in 2010 that regulates the use of lawn fertilizer. The intent is to reduce the unnecessary use of phosphorus which promotes the growth of algae and aquatic weeds in water bodies like Conesus Lake.
The new law became effective January 1, 2012.
The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation has prepared a summary of the new law which will be helpful as you plan for maintaining your lawn this summer. The lake friendly requirements in the law are easy for residents to follow. Please visit http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/74885.html for more information.
All of us ... doing our part. |
