Potential Contaminant Source

Fertilizers and pesticides are frequently applied to landscaped areas, including golf courses, and can seep into ground water or run off into stormwater if overapplied or applied incorrectly. The two main components of fertilizer used on landscaped areas that are of greatest concern to source water quality are nitrogen and phosphorous. Pesticides contain a variety of organic and inorganic compounds that are poisonous.
