Gulf Hypoxia and its Impact on Ohio Municipalities

Hypoxic Zones are Spreading Diaz & Rosenberg, Science, 2008

Comprised of: Federal Agencies (EPA, NOAA, USDA, USACE, USGS, DOI) States represented by Agriculture or Environment Departments (AR, IL, IA, LA, MN, MS, MO, OH, TN, WI) Goals: Examines complex science and policy issues surrounding Gulf Hypoxia Takes collaborative actions to improve water quality

Sub-basin Nitrogen Contribution

Sub-basin Phosphorus Contribution

Goals of the 2008 Action Plan Coastal –Reduce or make significant progress towards reducing the five-year average areal extent of the hypoxic zone to 5,000 square kilometers Within Basin –Restore and protect the waters of the 31 states within the MARB Quality of Life –Improve communities and economic conditions across the MARB

Moving Forward: Implementation State nitrogen and phosphorus reduction strategies Federal nitrogen and phosphorus reduction strategies Annual Operating Plans Annual Report

The Ohio River Basin

Biggest Challenges Absence of clear drivers (but this may change) –Financial (some funds shifted) –Regulatory (nutrient criteria, TMDLs in-state and interstate or regional???) –Public Opinion (climate change, energy) –Working voluntarily in advance of regulation

Program Integration and Implementation Examples from Ohio

Typical Eastern Corn Belt Field with Conservation Tillage

Combinations of Practices

Rural Drainage

Urban Stormwater BMP

Scioto CREP practice

WQ Trading Example (holding pond and plan needed)

Urban CSO

Public Treatment Works

Nutrient Load Reductions 2006 Examples Scioto Watershed CREP –57,000 out of 70,000 acres enrolled –36,000 lb. P/yr –73,000 lb. N/yr Great Miami Trading –68,000 lb. P over 5 to 20 years –176,000 lb. N over 5 to 20 years
