§ 15-800. Findings and purpose.  


Latest version.
  • As a result of impairment to the county's surface waters, groundwater, and springs caused by excessive nutrients, the county has determined that the improper use of fertilizers on land creates a risk of contributing to adverse effects on surface and groundwater. This ordinance regulates the proper use and application of fertilizer, training requirements, and restricted application periods in the county.

    Orange County's Environmental Protection Division will provide to the board of county commissioners a summary of data collected and current research related to excessive nutrients for evaluation and consideration of ordinance revisions on or before December 31, 2019.
