[Adopted 1-6-1988 as Sec. 6-1-9 of the 1988 Code]
The Village of Luck has conducted a study and has reviewed existing
data to determine the current and projected lake water quality of
Big Butternut Lake. The data indicates that the lake water quality
of Big Butternut Lake may be maintained and improved if the Village
is able to regulate the amount of chemicals and nutrients entering
the lake as a result of water runoff and other causes. The purpose
of this article is to define regulations which will aid the Village
in maintaining and improving lake resources which are enjoyed by its
residents and other users and to further educate the residents and
users as to some of the steps they can take to maintain and improve
the lake water quality of Big Butternut Lake.
A.
License required. No person, firm, corporation or franchise shall
engage in the business of lawn fertilizer application within the Village
of Luck unless a license has been obtained from the Village Clerk-Treasurer
as provided herein. There shall be no fee charged for the issuance
of this license.
B.
License application procedure. Application for a lawn fertilizer
license shall be submitted to the Village Clerk-Treasurer. The application
shall consist of the following:
(1)
Name, address and telephone number of the applicant and any individuals
authorized to represent the applicant.
(2)
Description of lawn fertilizer formula proposed to be applied on
lawn within the Village of Luck.
(3)
A sample of the lawn fertilizer to be applied in the Village, if
it is requested by the Village. Said sample shall be large enough
to permit laboratory testing.
Upon the Village's request, a property owner shall provide
the Village with a sample of lawn fertilizer to be applied by the
property owner. The quantity of the sample should be large enough
to permit laboratory testing.
A.
Time of application. A lawn fertilizer application shall not be applied
between November 15 and April 15 of the succeeding year or when the
ground is frozen. Application is recommended during the autumn months
rather than in the spring wet weather. Care is to be exercised so
as to apply the fertilizer during periods of low wind conditions which
will allow for the placement of the fertilizer in the designated area.
B.
Sample analysis cost. The cost of analyzing fertilizer samples taken
from property owners shall be paid by the property owners if the sample
analysis indicates that the phosphorus content exceeds the levels
authorized herein.
C.
Fertilizer content. The fertilizer being applied must contain 0%
phosphate by weight or volume.
D.
Impervious surfaces. No person shall apply fertilizer to any impervious
surfaces (roadway, walkway, stairway, patio, etc.) or to areas within
drainage ditches or waterways, nor shall any person pile, store or
burn lawn clippings or leaves on an impervious surface, drainage ditch
or waterway where they could be washed or transported into a storm
sewer or into Big Butternut Lake.
E.
Buffer zone. Fertilizer applications shall not be made within 35
feet of any wetland or water resources.
Newly established turf areas shall not be banned from the use
of a fertilizer containing phosphorus for the first growing season.
Active garden areas shall not be banned from the use of a fertilizer
containing phosphorus. Those established lawn areas in need of a fertilizer
containing phosphorus will be allowed if the property owner provides
the Village with certified soil test results showing the need for
such fertilizer. In all of these cases, the amount of phosphorus applied
shall not exceed 1/2 pound per 1,000 square feet of application area
per year.
