Description

The seven Chesapeake Bay watershed jurisdictions implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) to achieve the goals set forth in the 2010 Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load, or Bay TMDL. Through the Protocol for Development, Review, and Approval of Loading and Effectiveness Estimates for Nutrient and Sediment Controls (BMP Protocol), newer practices and technologies are considered and evaluated for inclusion in the Chesapeake Bay Program partnership modeling tools.

This protocol is available on the Project Resources panel, along with other BMP Resources. 

A collection of all BMP Expert Panel Reports can be found here.
