Protect Water QualityFertilizers, herbicides and pesticides should only be used when needed to protect human and environmental health. These chemicals can get into our water resources, including drinking water, through seepage and from washing off by rainfall that travels through stormwater systems.

Too much fertilizer can lead to thatch build-up and invite pests like chinch bugs because they feed off new growth of grass. Rain events carry excessive nutrients from fertilizers and can lead to changes in water pH, low dissolved oxygen and algae blooms that can cause harm to fish, wildlife and humans.

To help protect the health of ecosystems and our water supplies, Orange County has created the following rules for fertilizer application:

• Use zero phosphorous lawn fertilizers • Use lawn fertilizers with 50% or more slow-release nitrogen • Apply no more than 1-lb total nitrogen per 1,000 square feet per application • Do not fertilize before heavy rains or June 1st through September 30th * • Keep 10 feet away from any lake, stream, canal, wetland and stormwater pond • Broadcast spreaders must be equipped with a deflector shield • Sweep up fertilizer that falls on driveways, streets and sidewalks • Never blow lawn clippings or leaves into streets or down storm drains • Be sure your landscape professional has completed the Green Industries Best Management

Practices (GI-BMP) training

*Fertilizing permitted only upon completion of approved training
