r <br />Notice for Distribution to Cape Cod Landscape Association members; please pass this on to your <br />staff and colleagues; from the Town of Mashpee Environmental Oversight Committee (please <br />distribute this notice to professional landscapers by email or other means): <br />The Mashpee Nitrogen Control Bylaw regulates the application of nitrogen fertilizer on <br />all private and commercial lawns in Mashpee. This notice is a reminder to professional <br />lawn care operators of the following regulations enforced by the Board of Health and the <br />Conservation Commission: <br />A. t=ail fertilizer applications must be completed on or before October 301h and no fertilizer <br />may be applied after that date and before April 10 unless the dates are officially <br />adjusted to allow for unusual weather conditions. You will be notified of any temporary <br />changes by the CCLA. <br />B. Any fertilizer which falls on an impervious surface (roads, driveways, parking lots, etc.) <br />must be removed immediately. <br />C. Fertilizer is not to be applied on saturated ground or less than 24 hours before a heavy <br />rainfall. It should be watered in with no more than W' of water, or by natural rain within <br />24 hours. <br />D. Fertilizer is prohibited near certain waterway and wetland resources defined by the <br />Mashpee Wetlands Protection Bylaw. Basically, this regulation prohibits fertilizing lawns <br />within 100 feet of wetlands and waterways—with a few exceptions. Details are in the <br />Nitrogen Control Bylaw, which can be found at <br />http://mashpeema.virtualtownhall.net/pages/MashpeeMA Webdocs/Nitro enB law. pdf. <br />E. The Town of Mashpee recommends that no more than 2 pounds of total nitrogen be <br />applied per 1,000 square feet of turf during an entire calendar year. The excessive <br />application of nitrogen on turf is a leading cause of nitrogen loading of our estuaries. <br />These regulations help protect our precious surface water resources and are an integral <br />part of our recently approved "Comprehensive Wastewater and Nitrogen Management <br />Plan". We appreciate your cooperation with these regulations. <br />uashnet River Restoration: Update: <br />With the absence of Mr. McManus, there was no report. However, it was noted Mr. McManus <br />would soon be presenting a detailed update on the Quashnet River restoration project to the <br />Conservation Commission. <br />31 <br />
