IAN Seminar Series

Olivia will show how the Chesapeake Bay Program's decision support tools are used to develop local TMDLs and TMDL implementation plans. These decision support tools include CAST and BayFAST and the state-specific tools of MAST (Maryland) and VAST (Virginia). She will show examples of how the tools may be used to demonstrate the ability to comply with permit requirements related to nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment loads as well as demonstrate costs associated with plans.
