On April 3, 2013 CSN hosted a half day of webcast training on “Urban BMPS and the Bay TMDL: A Users Guide”. This was an opportunity for users to learn about the Chesapeake Bay Program’s Expert Panel recommendations for each of the newly approved Urban BMPs that can be used to achieve nutrient and sediment reductions toward the Bay TMDL. We heard from the expert panelists themselves on the findings of the panels as well as some of the questions that they are frequently asked about the recommendations.
