Estimating Phosphorus Load Reductions

BMP Drainage Area

BMP

  • 1. Build BMP drainage area
  • 2. Estimates baseline load (SWAT)
  • Land use
  • Slope
  • Soil type
  • 3. Applies BMP efficiency to

baseline load

  • 4. Estimates annual average load

removed

slide-25
SLIDE 25

BMP Efficiencies

  • Tetra Tech performance curves for New England
  • Vermont Stormwater Management Manual
  • Chesapeake Bay Program BMP expert panel

recommendations Have flexibility to update with new & improved information

Next Steps (near  long term)

  • Test LC BATT and link with DEC project database
  • Develop template for collecting BMP data (potentially an
  • nline form)
  • Collect input on BMP tracking & accounting process
  • Consider BMP verification protocol and tracking O&M
