Purpose • Understand which basins affect which areas of the bay and by how much
Procedure • Set the Susquehanna at Tier 3 loads and all other watersheds at 2000 levels • Record the relative change in attainment for each criterion and designated use area • Repeat for each basin
Progress • All basins completed • Results are provisional
Other Considerations • Final criteria curves not implemented • Final model applications areas not decided • Final designated use boundaries and clarity depths not decided • Problem with the interpolator
