This is an ill fraught, shorted sighted plan. These plastic grass fields have a short life, often not lasting as long as their 8 year warranty. They begin to deteriorate the moment they are placed. The installation, maintenance, grooming machinery, cleaning, GMax or HIC testing, topping off infill (2-5 tons/year), closure for failing GMax or HIC testing, snow days (plowing the snow voids the warranty) and extreme heat (they have been shown to reach up to 202F) make this an extremely expensive short term fix. The environmental concerns are significant. Degradation of blades, backing and infill create 1-5 tons of microplastic pollution per year: in the soil, storm drains, waterways and lakes and beyond. They are an illicit violation of MS4 permits. The US EPA interim strategy for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in federally issued National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, signed Nov. 2020, is a necessary consideration. Every synthetic turf field tested to date has been shown to contain PFAS (The Ecology Center, Ann Arbor, MI; PEER.org).
