§ 9-81. Findings.  


Latest version.
  • As a result of impairment to the county's surface waters caused by excessive nutrients, or, as a result of increasing levels of nitrogen in the surface and/or ground water within the aquifers or springs within the boundaries of the county, the board of county commissioners has determined that the use of fertilizers on lands within the county creates a risk to contributing to adverse effects on surface and/or ground water. Accordingly, the board of county commissioners finds that management measures contained in the most recent edition of the "Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries, 2010," may be required by this article.
