The goal of the ordinance is to educate county residents that phosphorus leaching into rivers and lakes causes excessive algae growth, County Health Officer Jim Rutherford said. Too much algae can clog waterways and suffocate fish populations.
The ordinance does not ban the sale of manufactured phosphorus?EUR??,,????'?????<??oeonly its use on lawns where it is not needed or where it can easily wash into waterways and sewers.
?EUR??,,????'?????<?Basically, the ordinance is simply trying to keep phosphorus out of the watershed as much as possible,?EUR??,,????'?????<? Rutherford said.
Violations will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. No staff or money has been budgeted to investigate complaints; however, the board does not expect there to be many. Non-phosphorus fertilizers are readily available in stores.
