The proper management of fertilizers on turf and landscape areas helps prevent the accumulation of excess nutrients in ground and surface waters.
Accumulation of nutrients in groundwater used as a drinking water source can pose public health risks. Excess nutrients in surface waters upset the natural balance needed for healthy and productive rivers, lakes and streams.
Nutrient-enriched waters are prone to algal blooms and depletion of oxygen, resulting in a water body incapable of supporting fish and other aquatic organisms.
The Green & Clean initiative is an effort to help meet water quality standards set forth by the federal Clean Water Act and the state. Many of Virginia's water bodies are unhealthy and do not meet these standards. Voluntary actions from businesses, such as those that are a part of this initiative, can help protect the environment and improve degraded areas without creating a need for new regulations.
Green & Clean companies have committed to responsible lawn care practices. The Green & Clean Company seal may be used by those companies during the current calendar year and must be renewed at the end of each year.

Check the list below of companies participating in the Green & Clean initiative. Companies that use the current year's Green & Clean Company seal (pictured) in promotional materials are active participants. If a lawn care operator maintains your home lawn or commercial property, and you don't see that company on the list, encourage them to contact DCR to become a part of the initiative.
