Modeling Phosphorus Reductions from the Installation of Shoreland Runoff Control Practices
Abstract
"Increased phosphorus from development on land can decrease water quality. The ability to predict phosphorus transfer is useful for understanding lake changes and for designing mitigation strategies. There continue to be questions on how much phosphorus is reduced from small scale runoff practices such as native/natural buffers. This session will explore some of the methods available for modeling phosphorus transfer from shoreland development and describe an attempt to develop a modeling tool using the EPA storm water management model (SWMM) to provide a reasonably simple way to quantify the phosphorus reductions from runoff control practices.
Presenters: Paul McGinley, UW-Stevens Point and Dave Ferris, Burnett County Land Services Department (Innovative)"
