Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the Michigan Turfgrass Environmental Stewardship Program (MTESP) which "provides golf course superintendents with information and technical assistance to advance compliance and environmental protection on golf properties." Discusses water restrictions in Michigan, stating that in 2004 "the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) changed the Water Use Reporting requirements and asked golf courses to identify the location of all irrigation wells (not drinking wells) by using a Global Positioning System. Additionally, courses were required to provide a static water level measurement from the primary irrigation well." Details the requirement of Act 177 of the Public Acts of 2003. States that "Act 177 is aimed at preventing disputes by encouraging high capacity well owners from operating their wells in a manner that adversely impacts neighboring wells." |
