Tributory Strategies

About Tributory Strategies

Chesapeake Bay Tributary Strategies were developed prior to the Chesapeake Bay TMDL by the seven watershed jurisdictions.  These strategies described the implementation activities each state would conduct on a river basin-wide scale to reduce nutrient and sediment pollution.  The target reductions in these Tributary Strategies came from both point and nonpoint sources and aimed to achieve the 2003 nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment load caps.
