  • As a result of impairment to the City's surface waters caused by excessive nutrients, or, as a result of increasing levels of nitrogen in the surface and/or ground water within the aquifers or springs, the City Council has determined that the use of fertilizers on lands within the City of Tavares has the potential for adverse effects on surface and/or ground water. Accordingly, the City of Tavares finds that management measures contained in the "Florida-Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the Green Industries", as amended, may be required by this ordinance.
