2 Maryland 2017 Nitrogen Contributions to Bay
Presentation topics Where are we now? Where are we going? What is your role? Phase III WIP process overview Maryland 2017 Nitrogen Contributions to Bay 1. Wastewater 2. Stormwater 3. Septic Systems 2

3 Wastewater … where we are today
Million Pounds of Nitrogen to the Bay 1980s & 90s Industrial re-tooling, treatment and closures Phosphorus controls 2000s Wastewater upgrades with Bay Restoration Fund (BRF) Enhanced Nutrient Removal By 2017 $970M in BRF Wastewater Treatment Plant Fund Over 95% of capacity will be upgraded 20% of Maryland’s nitrogen load in 2017 WIP2 3

4 Wastewater … where we are today
Million Pounds of Phosphorus to the Bay 1980s & 90s Industrial re-tooling, treatment and closures Phosphorus controls 2000s Wastewater upgrades with Bay Restoration Fund (BRF) Enhanced Nutrient Removal By 2017 $970M in BRF Wastewater Treatment Plant Fund Over 95% of capacity will be upgraded 13% of Maryland’s phosphorus load in 2017 WIP2 4

5 Wastewater … Phase III WIP
Participating in the Phase III WIP Local WIP Inventory Performance incentives Water Quality Trading Program Clean Water Commerce Act BRF O&M Grants for Performance Capital improvements Minor Municipal Upgrades Sewer Projects & Septic Connections Consider new technologies Treatment Water reuse Key Planning Documents Wastewater Permits County WIPs and Milestone Plans Bay Restoration Fund Annual Report County Water and Sewer Plans 5

6 Stormwater treatment Untreated runoff Treated runoff 6

7 Stormwater … where we are today
Million Pounds of Nitrogen to the Bay 1980s Early stormwater controls: dry ponds, wet ponds, etc. 2000s 2000 Maryland Stormwater Design Manual Issued 2007 Stormwater Management Act Now MS4 retrofits of pre development 17% of Maryland’s nitrogen load in 2017 WIP2 7

8 Stormwater … where we are today
Million Pounds of Phosphorus to the Bay 1980s Early stormwater controls: dry ponds, wet ponds, etc. 2000s 2000 Maryland Stormwater Design Manual Issued 2007 Stormwater Management Act Now MS4 retrofits of pre development 21% of Maryland’s phosphorus load in 2017 WIP2 8

9 Stormwater on new development & redevelopment
Stormwater Management Environmental Site Design Conservation Forest conservation Critical area protection Wetland protection “woods in good condition” 9

10 Stormwater on existing development
MS4s: Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Permits Restoration requirements Retrofit untreated acres Impervious Acre Equivalents Bay Restoration Phase I MS4s Population over 100K Permits Issued Annual restoration budgets exceed $300M Phase II MS4s Issued 2018 10

11 Stormwater … Phase III WIP
Participating in the Phase III WIP Local WIP Inventory MS4 Restoration Requirement Restoration plans Impervious acre retrofits Bay restoration Non-MS4s Water Quality Trading Program Grant programs Plans for projects with nutrient benefits Watershed Restoration Specialists Key Planning Documents MS4 Restoration Plans MS4 Financial Assurance Plans County WIPs and Milestone Plans Annual reporting of BMP implementation Emphasize benefits beyond nutrients 11

12 Septics … where we are today
Million Pounds of Nitrogen to the Bay Management actions Connections Upgrades Pumpouts Bay Restoration Fund $122M in septic Grants awarded Three Rs Regulatory reform Retool inspection and enforcement efforts Rethink septics vs. sewers 6% of Maryland’s nitrogen load in 2017 WIP2 12

13 Septics … looking to 2025 420,000 systems
6% of Maryland’s nitrogen Minimal phosphorus Focus on benefits to public health Drinking water Shellfish harvesting Concentrated problem areas Septic Stewardship Plans Target use of state funds Address county-specific water quality concerns 13

14 Septics … Phase III WIP Participating in the Phase III WIP
Local WIP Inventory Capital improvements using BRF Septic Upgrades Septic Connections Credit through permits MS4 restoration credit Wastewater capacity Septic Stewardship Plans Complete in 2021 Key Planning Documents County WIPs and Milestone Plans NPDES permits County Water and Sewer Plans 14

15 2017 Midpoint Assessment Phase II WIP 60% toward our 2025 goal by 2017
Phosphorus and sediment met this with room to spare Nitrogen is there as well, but is not accounted for in the 2017 modeling 15

16 EPA Phase III WIP Expectations
Implementation commitments from to 2025 to meet WIP Planning Targets Developed at a scale finer than the basin Identify: Specific funding and financing Cost-share & technical assistance Voluntary actions & incentives Policy, legislative & regulatory actions Engagement of local, regional and federal partners Account for climate change, Conowingo infill and growth 16

17 Bay Cabinet: Maryland’s Bay Restoration Framework
2016 Historical and Projected Chesapeake Bay Spending Report Use wastewater growth allocations wisely … preserve future options for local growth build capacity back into the system. Mitigate the future impact of growth … 6. Plan for 2025 and beyond 17

18 Compiling our Phase III WIP
Local WIP Inventories Current practices Proposed practices by 2025 For each sector For each county MDE to work directly with local practitioners MDE to compile: At a county level For the entire state 18

19 Phase III WIP Schedule Since 2010 WIP engagement
Summer Establish sector suballocations Fall Develop Local WIP Inventories Work with local practitioners Individually and through existing workgroups Comprehensive inventory of planned projects Improve inventory of current projects Winter 2018/19 Compile statewide WIP Combine local WIP inventories Assess whether plan meets WIP targets Establish local WIP goals March Draft WIP for Public Review Address stakeholder comments June Final Phase III WIP 2019 to Refine Phase III WIP 2-year milestones 19

20 Conclusions Water quality in the bay is improving
… but our job is not getting easier Focus on capacity for 2025 and beyond Emphasize benefits beyond nutrient reductions Outreach to practitioners and stakeholders: Ongoing since Phase I WIP Through spring 2019 for WIP development To continue through 2025 implementation and milestones To develop Local WIP Inventories To ensure that Maryland’s WIP is comprehensive 20
