Localities and states can take credit for on-site LID practices or “homeowner BMPs” as part of their effort to meet their Bay TMDL load reductions. While individual load reductions from on-site practices are not too impressive, collectively, they can really add up !
Below, please find several resources on a range of homeowner BMP practices and how communities can use them to help meet their nutrient and sediment reduction goals!
