| Abstract/Contents: | "Water quality in the Chesapeake Bay has been impaired for decades due to excess N, P, and sediment. As a result, the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load program was established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2010. This program requires each of the six Chesapeake Bay watershed states and the District of Columbia to develop watershed implementation plans to limit N, P, and sediment loading from agricultural operations, wastewater treatment facilities, and stormwater runoff. Stormwater watershed implementation plans involve modifying turfgrass fertilization practices in developed areas. As a consequence, legislation restricting use of fertilizer on home lawns, sports turf, and golf courses was recently passed in Maryland, Virginia, and New York; and a similar bill has been introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature. Depending on the state, turfgrass nutrient management legislation requires government agencies to establish certification programs for professional fertilizer applicators, restrictions on P fertilizer, limits on N fertilizer rates, nutrient management plans, and restrictions on dates and location of applications. Future development plans in urban areas within the Chesapeake Bay watershed are likely to include smaller lawns, less area as impervious surfaces, rain gardens, buffer strips, and tree planting. Increased focus on the environmental impact of turfgrass fertilization practices has led to a renewed emphasis on research to determine if N and P inputs can be reduced without a significant sacrifice in turfgrass quality and performance." |
