The Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) at the 2011 MACo Winter Conference discussed the significant challenges and costs facing counties as they struggle to design and implement a plan to meet their TMDL nutrient reduction goals.  Both urban and rural perspectives were presented as the two Watershed Implementation Plan pilot counties, Caroline and Anne Arundel, discussed their anticipated actions and costs.  For those interested in having a copy of the presenters’ powerpoint presentations, they are available here.  Remember that some of the powerpoints may be large and will take a few minutes to load.
