Phase 5.3.2 Watershed Model• In response to issues raised and agreed
upon by the partnership, two changes are being made to the watershed model to produce phase 5.3.2.
• 2010 TMDL based on phase 5.3.0
• 2011 phase 2 WIPs based on phase 5.3.2
• Discussed in Shawn Garvin letter of 6/11/2010 and email of 1/17/2011

Two Changes Agreed to by AgWG / WQGIT / PSC
• Improved land use estimates with more complete urban coverage– Especially improved in low density areas
• Refinements to the simulation of agricultural nutrient management– Improved definition of nutrient management– Improved data– Improved accounting– Additional details from AgWG/WTWG 1/14/11

Improved Land Use Estimates
• Increase in urban land in the Phase 5.3.2 land use data matches better with– Turf grass industry data– Local impervious surface data– State septic data– USDA Agricultural Census

Refinements to nutrient management
• Improved definition of nutrient management
• Improved application timing data
• Improved manure accounting– Discontinue automatic transfer of manure –
Use the state-reported transfers instead– Improved accounting of all manure nutrients

Partnership Review
• Improved land use estimates with more complete urban coverage– Independently reviewed by USGS and CBP
STAC– Reviewed by USWG and WQGIT
• Refinements to the simulation of agricultural nutrient management– Refinements arose from WQGIT, WTWG, and
AgWG– Details approved by same groups in Jan 2011

State data deadline
• Requested data by 2/7/11– Will not be updated in p5.3.2 if not received
by 2/22/11
• Agricultural– Application and CAFO/AFO data
• Stormwater– Do BMPs include federal land?
• Wastewater– Update facility lists
