Subject: fertilizer use
Hi Lisa,
Suggestions in response to Dave Trecker's drafts:
RE: fertilizer
1. Ask homeowners and associations to use specific fertilizer products in specific quantities at specified
times of the year in specific locations(We need to nail down what products, etc, we are recommending.)
2. Tell homeowners and associations how PBSD has changed its fertilizer practices. (We need our own
house to be in order before we can ask others to do the same.)
3. Ask Presidents of associations to name a landscape liaison for their association.
4. Provide background information to landscape liaisons and get information from them about the
fertilizer practices of their associations.
5. Provide background information to interested members.
RE: controlling algae in ponds
1. Nail down in which ponds PBSD will stop using copper sulfate in 2013.
2. Notify associations in which those ponds are located re: alternative methods PBSD is using to prevent
algae.
3. Develop plans for 2014 and notify associations that will be affected.
Overall suggestions
1. Focus on fertilizer use and leave other BMP, e.g.. using drought-resistant plants, for another day.
2. Avoid talking about the possible need to dredge the ponds at some later date. Focus on PBDS's plan to
eliminate the use copper sulfate.

TO: PBSD Directors, Neil Dorrill and Kyle Lukasz
FROM: Dave Trecker for the Landscape & Water Management
Subcommittee
SUBJECT: Community Awareness Program on Fertilizer Usage
DATE: February 7, 2013
The PBSD has begun to address community-wide fertilizer usage, leading to
copper fungicide treatment of the freshwater lakes and, in turn, some copper
buildup in Clam Bay and very significant copper buildup in the lakes.
A community awareness program on the problems, stressing best-management
practices on fertilizer use, was proposed. To that end, the attached drafts for a
simple brochure and for a Powerpoint presentation are offered for review and
revisions.
The intent of the awareness program is to drive home the problems to residents
via articles in the PB Post and presentations to community organizations and
condo associations.
This would be the first step in what would likely be a long-range program to
deal with both fertilizer misuse and copper buildup.
The staged approaches might entail the following.
I. Misuse of fertilizers
Stage 1 — Community awareness (now)
Stage 2 - Foundation enforcement based on new policy or
amended covenants (longer term)
II. Copper buildup
Stage 1 - Pilot programs on non-copper fungicide treatments
(Kyle Lukasz proposal for Basin 3 lakes)
Stage 2 - If successful, expansion to other lakes.
Stage 3 - Removal of accumulated copper (long-term possibility)
Please review the attached drafts and pass on any suggested revisions to Lisa.
I would like to hammer out final drafts at the Feb. 26 sub-committee meeting.

BROCHURE DRAFT
Pelican Bay is facing a severe problem.
Its waterways — inland lakes and Clam Bay— are being polluted by high levels
of fertilizer runoff.
Nutrients from the runoff— dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus — cause algae
bloom, a threat to aquatic plants and wildlife. To deal with algae buildup, a
copper fungicide has been applied over an extended period of time. Through
accumulation, copper— itself a pollutant— has reached alarmingly high levels in
our freshwater lakes.
Those lakes are not subject to federal or state regulation. But pollution— leading
to unsightly sludge, odor and dead wildlife— affects quality of life and property
values of people who live nearby. And Clam Bay, downstream of the lakes, is
highly regulated and has strict limits on pollution.
The maximal acceptable level for dissolved copper is 3.7 micrograms per liter.
Current levels in Inner and Outer Clam Bay are 7.7 and 9.0, respectively,
marginally out of compliance. But dissolved copper in the 44 lakes that feed
Clam Bay ranges from 12 to 3870 micrograms per liter, with an average close
to 350. Continuing copper buildup will lead to further migration to Clam Bay
and eventually a major pollution problem.
Several approaches are being taken to deal with this problem.
(1) The Pelican Bay Services Division (PBSD) is exploring alternatives to
copper sulfate as a means of controlling algae. The use of selective
bacteria in combination with aeration and littoral plantings will be tested
in Basin 3, the central section of the freshwater lakes. If this pilot
program is successful, it will be expanded to other basins.
(2) To deal with fertilizer misuse, the heart of the problem, the
PBSD is undertaking a community awareness program— a follow-on to a
recent county ordinance (11-24) which mandates that Best Management
Practices (BMP) be followed throughout Collier County.

Dealing with this problem is everyone's responsibility. If we are to have clean
groundwater and healthy waterways in Pelican Bay, it is essential that fertilizers
be used in accordance with BMP.
Here is a specific list of things every condominium association, homeowner
association and individual homeowner can and should do.
• Use only landscape maintenance companies whose technicians are
trained and licensed in BMP. During the course of fertilizer application,
be sure there is appropriate on-site supervision.
• Use fertilizer application rates recommended by the Florida-Friendly
Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources by the
Green Industries. Those can be accessed at
http:/fyn.ifas.ufl.edu/professionals/GI-BMP_publications.htm.
• Limit nitrogen usage to 4-6 lbs./1000 sq. ft./yr.
• Whenever possible, use slow-release fertilizer.
• Do not fertilize during the rainy season (June 1 - September 30) or prior
to forecasted storms
• Be sure no fertilizer is used within 10 feet of groundwater, including
lakes, except to establish new landscape and then for no more than 30
days after planting.
• When installing new landscape, use drought-resistant plants that require
minimal fertilization.
• Be mindful that reclaimed water used for irrigation already contains most
of the nitrogen and phosphorus needed for grass fertilization. Little or no
additional fertilizer may be needed.
The Pelican Bay Services Division, working in concert with the Pelican Bay
Foundation, urges all residents of Pelican Bay to follow these guidelines.
The health of our lakes and our estuary depends upon it.

HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM?
Dual-Path Approach

to curtail nutrient buildup from fertilizer run-off
- Physically remove surface algae
(2) Reduce fertilizer usage
-Community awareness of problem
-Best Management Practices as mandated by county
ordinance

WHAT CAN YOU DO?
(1) Use BMP-licensed landscape maintenance companies

Fertilizer Application"
(2) Ensure BMP are followed by maintenance companies
(3) Use fertilizer rates recommended by "Florida-Friendly BMP
for Protection of Water Resources"
Slide 16

February 26,2013 Landscape Water Management Subcommittee

Page 1 of 2
PROPOSED PROGRAM TO DEAL WITH WATER POLLUTION
Near Term
(1) Make community aware of problem and immediate steps that can be
taken for fertilizer BMP(articles and presentations)
(2) Explore ways to reduce or eliminate copper fungicide use (Basin 3 pilot)
(3) Continue to monitor nutrient and copper levels, including recycled water
and sediment testing. Which lakes have the highest levels? Which
associations are the major offenders?
Longer Term
(1) Seek fertilizer BMP enforcement via Foundation policy or revised
covenants. If the Foundation balks, seek county guidance.
(2) Expand pilot program, if successful,to all basins.
(3) If necessary, remove copper from lakes.
The best regulatory scenario would be that,with controlled fertilizer use and
with little or no additional copper fungicide pumped into the lakes, the existing
copper in Clam Bay would be flushed out to sea and Clam Bay would meet the
copper standard in 4-5 years.
If not,copper removal from the lakes may be necessary. Even with Clam Bay
compliance,copper removal from the lakes may be justified to reduce possible
long-term problems.
