this report is one of a series of reports prepared for the Chesapeake Bay Program Reevaluation of the Nutrient Reduction Strategy. This report provides information on the financial cost effectiveness and nutrient removal effectiveness of point and nonpoint source technologies in the Chesapeake Bay Basin. The report evaluates the costs on an equivalent annual basis, so that relative comparisons can be made among nutrient removal options. Use of the cost inforation provided by this report with the Chesapeake Bay watershed Model will allow relative cost comparisons of nutrient reduction scenarios to determine cost effect strategies for point and nonpoint source nutrient reduction. Unit costs and nutrient reduction efficiencies presented in this report can also be used in optimization models to identify cost effectnutrient reduction strategies.
