I have to run out and fertilize my lawn
Who said you can’t fertilize your lawn? Not the Shoreland Protection Act. Everyone seems a little confused on this issue. Here is what Chapter 483-B The Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act says.
You can’t fertilize within 25 feet of the shoreline. None of the new houses have lawns that are that close to the lake. Scotts fertilizer is acceptable to use. I have included direct text from the Shoreland Protection Act.
Sorry, I can’t say more I have to run out and fertilize my lawn so that it stays nice and green!
XVII. "Reference line" means:
(a) For natural fresh water bodies without artificial impoundments, the natural mean high water level as determined by the department of environmental services.
Fertilizer
(d) No fertilizer, except limestone, shall be used within 25 feet of the reference line of any property. Twenty-five feet beyond the reference line, low phosphate, slow release nitrogen fertilizer or limestone, may be used on lawns or areas with grass.
