Local residents will be asked to reconsider the use of chemicals <br />(pesticides and fertilizers), which many people consider to be an acceptable way to care for lawns. <br />Chemical applications become a problem when they are applied improperly or excessively. Excess <br />fertilizers and pesticides run off and enter the stormwater system, ultimately ending up in local rivers. <br />Understanding how to care for lawns in a way that won't hurt the environment can benefit the entire <br />community. <br /> <br />The Stormwater Education Program booth (#517 in Expo Hall 1) will include a display with information on <br />key elements needed to maintain a healthy lawn without using chemicals. Staff will be on hand to answer <br />questions and provide printed materials. <br /> <br />The City's Stormwater Management program focuses on a commitment to protect local waterways while <br />promoting environmental stewardship. For more information, please call Kathy Eva, public information <br />specialist for the Stormwater Management Program at 682-2739 or visit the program's website at <br />www.ci.eugene.or, us/pw/storm. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 3 <br />March 3, 2005 <br /> <br /> <br />
