Fertilizer released on an impervious surface must be immediately contained and either legally applied to turf or any other legal site, or returned to the original or other appropriate container. Fertilizer shall not be washed, swept, or blown off impervious surfaces into stormwater drains, ditches, drainage conveyances, surface waters, or roadways.

Spreader deflector shields are required when applying fertilizer by use of any broadcast or rotary spreaders. Deflector shields must be positioned such that fertilizer granules are deflected away from all impervious surfaces and surface waters.
