Why are we required to put in grass (sod not seeds) and a sprinkler system in our rebuilt house before we can get a CO?
I just got a newsletter from the water company for my primary residence in NJ and it says to maintain a small lawn and keep most of the yard in a natural state with trees and native vegetation that requires no fertilizer or pesticides.
When the ground gets flooded these pesticides create stormwater pollution, one of NJ's greatest threats to clean and plentiful water.
So besides adding a great deal of cost on top of the many other costs of rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy, we now have to put in several thousand dollars more for a landscape we don't want and one that is really ecologically unsound.
