Does the Permit Regulate the Use of Pesticides, Herbicides, and Fertilizers?
Municipalities are required to implement practices to control the amount of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers that run off municipal facilities. In addition, because landscape runoff may contain pollutants (e.g., pesticides, herbicides, excess fertilizer, and pet waste), including ones toxic to wildlife, the municipalities have an obligation to educate residents in order to prevent and reduce water pollution from these sources.
