The 2010 Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (Bay TMDL) outlines the reductions in nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment that are needed to ensure th Bay can meet water quality standards. To collectively achieve these Bay-wide reductions, each watershed jurisdiction is assigned specific nitrogen and phosphorus reduction targets to meet. New draft planning targets for the Phase III Watershed Implementation Plans (WIPs) have been developed and are currently under review by each of the jurisdictions, with final planning targets expected to be released in late May 2018.
