1 Lessons Learned in Restoring Chesapeake Bay WQ Putting the 17 Million Chesapeake Bay Watershed Residents on a Regulatory Pollution Diet Rich Batiuk Associate Director for Science U.S. EPA Region 3 Chesapeake Bay Program Office 1 NCER 2011 August 2, 2011
2 et Full Buy-in on What Defines Restored Water Quality Sunlight Minimal Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Sediment Inputs Excessive Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Sediment Inputs Sunlight Healthy Bay Grasses Balanced Algae Growth Algal Bloom Reduced Bay Grasses Healthy Habitat Unhealthy Habitat Algae Die-off Healthy Oyster Reef Adequate Oxygen No Oxygen Algae Decomposition Barren Oyster Reef Benthic Community No Benthic Community
3 Rethink Fishable/Swimmable in Terms the Public Can Relate to Bay Grasses Habitat Rockfish, Bluefish Menhaden Habitat Shad, Herring, Perch and Rockfish Spawning Habitat Oyster, Crab, Croaker and Spot Habitat Summertime Crab Food Habitat Local Zoning for Bay and Tidal River Fish, Crab and Grasses Habitats
4 Use Best Available Science to Quantify WQ Conditions Protective of Uses Bay Dissolved Oxygen Criteria Migratory Fish Spawning & Nursery Areas Shallow and Open Water Areas Deep Water Deep Channel Striped Bass: 5-6 American Shad: 5 White Perch: 5 Yellow Perch: 5 Hard Clams: 5 Alewife: 3.6 Crabs: 3 Bay Anchovy: 3 Spot: 2 Worms: 1
5 Connect Water Quality Impairments with Upland (and Upwind) Sources
6 Do What is Needed to Reach Agreement on Equitable Distribution of Responsibility 6
7 Address All Pollutant Sources Equitably
8 Build/Maintain Long Term Monitoring Networks
9 Apply a Suite of Models and Tools to Connect Sources-Management Actions-WQ Responses Chesapeake Bay Airshed Model Chesapeake Bay Land Change Model Chesapeake Bay Scenario Builder Chesapeake Bay Watershed Model Chesapeake Bay Water Quality and Sediment Transport Model Chesapeake Bay Filter Feeder Model
10 Reach Agreement with Partners/Stakeholders on an Equitable Allocation Methodology
11 Assign Pollutant Load Responsibility Closest to the Actual Source as Possible
12 Go as Local with Your Allocations as Your Scientific Understanding Enables You to 12

15 Build and Institutionalize an Accountability System Nitrogen Loads Delivered to Bay Year TOTAL Agriculture Developed Wastewater Onsite 20 Watershed Implementation Plans identify nutrient and sediment targets that meet water quality standards. Plans include: Evaluation of Program Capacity necessary to fully restore water quality Federal Actions if insufficient Watershed Implementation Plans or 2- year milestones are not met Chesapeake Bay TMDL: Set Pollution Reduction Goals for Point and Non-point Sources to Meet Bay Water Quality Standards Model and Monitor to assess progress 2-Year Milestones with program enhancements and nutrient and sediment reduction commitments Identification of Gaps between needed and existing program capacity Schedule and Strategies to enhance programs and reduce nutrients and sediment 15
