Title
Agriculture Most Effective Basins 2020 [Pennsylvania] {2020}
Description
EPA will provide the most effective basins funding for nitrogen reduction from the most cost-effective BMPs in the agricultural sector to the Chesapeake Bay watershed jurisdictions that have committed to reducing the agricultural contribution of nitrogen in their Phase III Watershed implementation Plans (WIPs), i.e. Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. The District of Columbia does not have an agricultural commitment through 2025. Using the state Phase III WIPs, each identified nitrogen reduction commitment between now and 2025. The total load of these obligations to reduce nitrogen from Agriculture was added and then a percentage for each of those jurisdictions was determined. The $6 million MEB money will be allocated using the individual percentages for those jurisdictions to complete implementation work in the most effective basins identified within their boundaries.
