Mandatory Lawn Chemical/Fertilizer Restrictions and Organic Lawns
High-nitrogen fertilizers contribute to nitrogen loading in rivers and bays in polluted runoff. Pesticides have been found in drinking water supplies and groundwater, especially in Suffolk County. Both Nassau and Suffolk County have the authority to limit nitrogen levels in fertilizer sold in the county, and homeowners can use organic methods to maintain properties. Farmers using organic methods to grow crops focus on soil quality and non-toxic solutions to pest problems, which do not pollute ground or surface waters.

Re-using Wastewater Where Appropriate
Reclaimed wastewater has been reliably and safely used for decades in a number of states, most notably California, Florida, and the arid Southwest, usually for non-potable activities such as industrial cooling, and golf course and landscape irrigation. New York State has the authority to develop and implement rules, regulations and standards for the re-use of water, but has not done so. As a sole source aquifer, increased use of recycled wastewater will need careful assessment since most sewage treatment does not remove all the pollutants of concern for water quality protection. However, there may be a role for conserving water through wastewater reuse. "
