Description
This document summarizes and synthesizes the Nutrient Reduction Strategies for Maryland's ten Tributary Strategy watersheds. Each of the ten Strategies provides specific recommendations to achieve the 40% nutrient reduction goal. The Strategies represent a collective effort over the past year among all levels of government with extensive input by various interest groups and citizens. Local governments, in particular, have spent considerabler time and effort and provided significant input to the draft Strategies. Each Strategy provides an example of how the goal may be achieved through specific programs and practices, called "nutrient reduction options."
