Assessment of Nitrogen Loading Sources and Pathways to MN Surface Waters
This project will promulgate a nitrate water quality standard to address aquatic life toxicity, and gather information needed to support the development of total nitrogen (N) loading reduction strategies for Minnesota’s waters and also address Minnesota’s contribution to marine water hypoxia. Project will also develop a framework for a watershed nitrogen planning aid that can be used to optimize selection of Best Management Practice (BMP) systems for reducing nitrogen.
Chapter 361. Sec. 4. CLEAN WATER FUND APPROPRIATIONS. Subdivision 1. Pollution Control Agency. $600,000 in fiscal year 2011 is appropriated from the clean water fund to the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency to continue rulemaking to establish water quality standards for total nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen. This is a onetime appropriation.
