[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Health
of the Township of Byram 2-9-1999 by Ord. No. BH2-1999. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
The Lake Mohawk Country Club has conducted studies
and has reviewed existing data to determine the current and projected
water qualities of Lake Mohawk. The data indicates that lake water
quality may be maintained and improved if Lake Mohawk Country Club,
with the assistance of Byram Township, is able to minimize phosphorous
in lawn fertilizer and other chemicals entering the lake as a result
of stormwater runoff or their causes. The purpose of this chapter
is to promulgate regulations which will aid the Township in maintaining
and improving lake resources and to protect the public health by regulating
the application of fertilizers.
As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Includes all properties located within Lake Mohawk Country
Club.
Any substance used to increase soil fertility.
Byram Township.
A.
Fertilizer. Within Lake Mohawk Country Club, no person,
firm, corporation or franchise shall apply liquid or granular fertilizer
which contains phosphorus.
B.
Time of application. Lawn fertilizer applications
shall not be applied when the ground is frozen.
C.
Disposal of leaves and other vegetative material.
No person shall deposit leaves or other vegetative materials on roads
or within any lake or stormwater drainage system.
D.
Buffer zone. Fertilizer applications shall not be
made within 10 feet of any wetland or body of water.
Newly established turf areas shall not be limited
by this chapter on the quantity of phosphorus for the first growing
season.
Any person who shall do or commit any act that
is forbidden by the provisions of this chapter shall be punished by
a fine not to exceed $200.
