Presentation Transcript

  1. Phase II Planning Targets: • 24% for Nitrogen • Lesser reduction than TMDL (29%) • 20% for Phosphorus • Slightly greater reduction than TMDL (18%) • 0% for Sediment • Lesser reduction than TMDL (10%)

  2. Phase II Plan More specific and localized • Who will do what when • Resources, authorities, and needs • Clear and quantitative goals – • County or Land-River Segment scale BMP implementation levels • 2013 Milestones levels • 2017 60% levels • 2025 100% levels

  3. Updated each section to reflect new information and changes since Phase I • Added detailed discussions on each local government and their role in achieving the TMDL • We did not develop individual WIPs because • Delaware is entirely within one major basin, • Our towns and counties have limited resources, and • Many programs are already run at the State level, Changes between phase I and phase II

  4. Wastewater Updates • Point Source Wastewater • Updated permit schedule • Elimination of one minor facility • Onsite Wastewater • Updated regulatory revision schedule and details of proposed regs • Performance standards for large systems; • Advanced treatment requirements for systems within 1000 feet of tidal waters and wetlands

  5. Stormwater • Updated regulatory revision schedule and details of proposed regs • Updated schedule of MS4 permit renewal • Improved data tracking and reporting

  6. Land Use • Added detailed discussion of each local government • Tetra Tech analysis of local ordinances and recommendations • Grant support to conduct Master Planning in several communities • Included an analysis of non-farm fertilizer sales data for P (data maintained by DDA) • 92% reduction between 2005 and 2010 • Outlined an offset program approach

  7. Agriculture • Described several new programs • Cover crop targeting • Delaware Rural Irrigation Program (DRIP) • Strategic Watershed Action Teams (SWAT) • CAFO regs updated in 2011 and updated the number of operations that have submitted NOIs • Implementation goals for 2011, 2013, and 2017 were added for each BMP • Added a discussion concerning difference between CBP and DDA/UD/UMD estimates of poultry manure volume and nutrient content

  8. Sea Level Rise Considerations • DNREC policy noted by a commenter • Discussion of potential impacts added to each major • Ensure that the investments being made now for these goals are not be lost in the future as a result of sea level rise

  9. Questions Jennifer Volk, DNREC Watershed Assessment Section Chesapeake Bay WIP Lead Jennifer.Volk@state.de.us
