| Abstract/Contents: | Describes the cleaning of turfgrass equipment as "an ever-evolving science and art". Suggests that "golf courses should evaluate their equipment wash areas to ensure that these important parts of maintenance facilities are not impacting the environment". Cornell University conducted a survey in the Long Island, New York area "to answer the question about whether there are laws pertaining to turf equipment washwater systems and what happens to the discharge". Provides a summary of current laws pertaining to turf equipment washing and discharge of wash wastewater. Concludes that "pesticide application equipment should not be cleaned using the same wash pad unless a recycling system that removes pesticides is used" and that "for equipment wash wastewater, it is advisable to either recycle it, have it put through some type of treatment system to remove pesticides (carbon or biological) or allow it to be filtered in a grassy swale (not close to sensitive environmental areas) that can filter out the contaminates". |
