The Water Environment & Reuse Foundation (WE&RF) recently awarded a contract to LimnoTech to develop scientifically sound nutrient goals. The research will help states and communities facing regulatory challenges to develop total maximum daily loads (TMDL) and site-specific nutrient criteria.The research will build upon previous efforts to define the amount of data necessary to apply to models in the Nutrient Modeling Toolbox to ultimately support regulatory decisions.The research team will evaluate 20 to 25 existing nutrient receiving water quality model applications corresponding to data availability, model calibration evaluation, uncertainty assessment and regulatory/management outcome.The models will be used in two ways
