    Health Consultation Health Risks from Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Fertilizer Applied to Soil in Recreation Areas MILWAUKEE, MILWAUKEE COUNTY, WISCONSIN Prepared by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services JUNE 23, 2009 Prepared under a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Health Assessment and Consultation Atlanta, Georgia 30333 Health Consultation: A Note of Explanation A health consultation is a verbal or written response from ATSDR or ATSDR’s Cooperative Agreement Partners to a specific request for information about health risks related to a specific site, a chemical release, or the presence of hazardous material. In order to prevent or mitigate exposures, a consultation may lead to specific actions, such as restricting use of or replacing water supplies; intensifying environmental sampling; restricting site access; or removing the contaminated material. In addition, consultations may recommend additional public health actions, such as conducting health surveillance activities to evaluate exposure or trends in adverse health outcomes; conducting biological indicators of exposure studies to assess exposure; and providing health education for health care providers and community members. This concludes the health consultation process for this site, unless additional information is obtained by ATSDR or ATSDR’s Cooperative Agreement Partner which, in the Agency’s opinion, indicates a need to revise or append the conclusions previously issued.

  • Final Report
    1 Final Report Investigation of the Effect of Experimental Milorganite Formulations on Turfgrass Color, Quality and Growth Dr. Doug Soldat University of Wisconsin – Madison, Dept. of Soil Science March 31, 2014 1. Scope and Objective The overall objective of this research was to compare the agronomic and environmental impacts of various experimental Milorganite formulations compared to Milorganite Classic. To accomplish this objective, a field study, a greenhouse study, and various laboratory characterizations were performed. The field study tracked agronomic responses of the Kentucky bluegrass to the various formulations during two growing seasons, while the greenhouse study evaluated the leaching potential of the products. Various characterizations of the fertilizers and soil were performed to evaluate the chemical differences among the fertilizers. 2. Methods and Materials Field Study This research project was conducted at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. The field study site was located at the University’s O.J. Noer Turfgrass Research and Education Facility in Verona, WI. The research was carried out on a Kentucky bluegrass lawn grown on a Batavia silt loam soil. The grass was mowed weekly or as needed at a cutting height of 2.5 inches, and irrigation was applied weekly to replace 80% of reference evapotranspiration (ET) as estimated by an on-site weather station. In July, 2013, regular irrigation was withheld to attempt to identify difference among the treatments in response to drought stress. The study evaluated ten treatments listed in Table 1 which include six (6) different treatments of Milorganite in various compositions of iron and nitrogen (A-F), two (2) treatments with Milorganite and Crystal Green® (G-H), a control treatment with no fertilizer and a treatment with Scotts® Turf Builder® commercial fertilizer.

  • Best Management Practices for the Enhancement of Environmental Quality on Florida Golf Courses
    Best Managementfor the Practices Enhancement of Environmentalon Quality Florida Golf Courses FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION JANUARY 2007 I am pleased to present the new edition of Best Management Practices for the Enhancement of Environmental Quality on Florida Golf Courses. This manual reflects the collaborative efforts of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the Florida Golf Course Superintendents Association, the University of Florida and many private sector partners to develop nonregulatory guidelines for minimizing pollution and conserving Florida’s precious water resources. Water conservation is one of our most crucial environmental issues. By adopting and apply- ing the practices recommended in this guide, industry as well as individuals will help pro- tect our natural resources, minimize the need for future regulations, and continue Florida’s commitment to sound environmental stew- ardship. MICHAEL W. S OLE, SECRETARY Florida Department of Environmental Protection These Best Management Practices were born from the desire of Florida golf course superintendents to demonstrate that environmental stewardship is a responsibility that is taken seriously. The Florida Golf Course Superintendents Association wishes to acknowledge the time, effort, and expertise of the staff of FDEP and other regulatory agencies, the University of Florida–IFAS faculty, and other members of the private and public sector who partnered with us to help develop these voluntary guidelines for enhancing the environment on Florida’s golf courses. There is a reason that wildlife gravitates to golf courses even in urban settings, where they serve as greenbelts. Golf courses present opportunities for many diverse wildlife habitats. By following the practices in this manual, the golf course industry will be able to demonstrate the positive contribu- tions that golf courses make to communities across the state of Florida.

  • Using Milorganite® to Temporarily Repel White-Tailed Deer from Food Plots
    Using Milorganite® to temporarily repel w hite-tailed deer from food plots O din L. Stephens1, Michael T. Mengak1, David Osborn1, and Karl V. Miller1 1 Graduate Student, Assistant Professor - Wildlife Specialist, Wildlife Research Coordinator, and P rofessor – Wildlife Management, respectively, D. B. Warnell School of Forest Resources, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602 WSFR - Wildlife Management Series No. 2 March 2005 Abstract When deer populations become locally overabundant, deer browsing of wildlife forage plants during early vegetative growth negatively affects food plot establishment, survival, and productivity. Food plot managers would benefit from a repellent, which provided plants with protection from over-browsing, if it were harmless to people and animals, inexpensive, and easy to apply to group plantings. We tested Milorganite® as a repellent for providing wildlife forage plants with temporary protection from browsing by deer. We planted two 0.5-acre (0.2 ha) plots of soybeans (Glycine max) on five rural properties in northern Georgia and monitored them for 37 days. On each property we established one control (no Milorganite®) and one treatment 240 pounds per acre of Milorganite®) food plot, separated by 15 – 325 yards (15-300 m) of natural, unfertilized vegetation. Although intensity of deer browsing varied by property, a broadcast Milorganite® treatment reduced browsing of soybean plants for at least 37 days. Introduction Food plots are widely used by wildlife managers to increase a property’s value to wildlife. These plantings provide supplemental forage to wildlife during periods when native vegetation is lacking in either abundance or nutritional quality. However, because deer often prefer fertilized food plot plants to naturally available plants, over-browsing can damage food plots before they become sufficiently established.

  • Over-Fertilizing Is a Problem Contributing to Stormwater Pollution in the Clinton River. Without Realizing It, Many Landowners
    Over-fertilizing is a problem contributing to stormwater pollution in the Clinton River. Without realizing it, many landowners are applying fertilizers and pesticides when their lawns don’t even need them! When applying fertilizer, it’s important to know when it is needed and when it is not in order to avoid the excess fertilizer from entering the stormdrains and negatively affecting water quality. It is possible to have a beautiful lawn by fertilizing only two or three times a year, or even not at all. If you find you need to fertilize, you may choose to… Apply twice a year: in late spring (late April or early May) and fall (September or October). OR Apply three times a year: in late spring (Memorial Day), early fall (Labor Day) and late fall (Thanksgiving) Pointers for Pesticide Use Correct watering, mowing and fertilizing habits can reduce many pest problems.
