Comprised of 92 smaller TMDLs within the Bay Watershed Based on 7 Watershed Implementation Plans
- 6 Bay States (NY, PA, MD, WV,
DE, VA) and Washington DC
- Whole Bay Estimated Costs:
$35 billion to $80 billion by 2025 Chesapeake Bay: The Largest Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) in history - 2010 TMDL = “Pollution Diet”

Telling the Conservation Story
Past (Performance Based)
- # of conservation practices
installed
- Acres treated
- Length of practices installed
- Millions of dollars (FARM
Bill) spent
- Etc.
Future (Outcome Based)
- How do voluntary
conservation efforts directly improve water quality?
- Further….how do BMP’s
reduce Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sediment from entering waters of the State?
- Furthermore….are we
directly targeting priority/sensitive areas?

- How does the county or watershed(s) you work in
compare to others in the state?
– Are there more or fewer practices being completed? – Why is this?
- Should we focus more on what Ag is reducing rather
than contributing?
– After all food production benefits the larger population.
- If a practice isn’t recorded it never happened
- Think in terms of Outcomes (The difference we
make) rather than just Outputs (What we do)
Thoughts For Further Consideration
