An Act to prohibit the application of fertilizer in the town of Eastham
This bill prohibits the use of fertilizers containing nitrogen or phosphorus in the Town of Eastham, overriding existing state laws that typically grant the Department of Agriculture regulatory authority. The only exceptions allowed are for commercial farming operations and the residential application of organic fertilizers with low nitrogen and phosphorus levels specifically for growing fruits and vegetables. By restricting these inputs, the legislation aims to control pollutant runoff within the town while maintaining limited agricultural capabilities.
