Adapted Chesapeake Nutrient and Sediment Load Reduction Model

PreviousModelsNextStream Restoration Load Reduction Estimates (Protocols 1 - 5)

Last updated 25 days ago

Load reduction estimates in FieldDoc are based on data from the Chesapeake Bay Program's Phase 6 model. These estimates are calculated by combining the type of , the size or area it treats, and its location within a specific land-river segment. The system then applies the corresponding nutrient or sediment reduction efficiency.

To simplify this process, FieldDoc uses the Adapted Chesapeake Nutrient and Sediment Load Reduction Model, which relies on standard efficiencies. This model is designed to make data entry easy while still maintaining scientific credibility.

It’s important to note that this tool is not intended to replace official Chesapeake Bay Program scenario tools or provide exact numbers for TMDL targets. Instead, it offers a general estimate of nutrient or sediment reductions based on the size, type, and location of a practice—helpful for understanding potential environmental benefits before implementation.
