GOLF COURSE NUTRIENT PLAN: On March 25, 2024, the Virginia Department of Conservation & Recreation approved the LOWA Golf Course Nutrient Management Plan, which is does not need renewal until March 25, 2029. The Plan is used by International Golf Maintenance (IGM) to maintain LOWA’s golf course in a manner that protects the Main Lake and Keatons Lake by ensuring the minimum movement of nitrogen and phosphorous from the specified area of application. The Plan’s focus is to keep nitrogen and phosphorus out of our Lakes, the Rapidan and Rappahannock Rivers, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay.
