2 Watershed Model Bay Model Criteria Assessment Procedures Effects Allocations Airshed Model Land Use Change Model Scenario Builder Suite of Bay Modeling Tools

3 3 Scenario Builder A tool that simulates non- point source processes in order to enhance the accuracy and precision of the Phase 5 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Model Scenario Builder

4 4 Each segment consists of separately-modeled land uses: Pervious Urban Impervious Urban Regulated and non- regulated versions of the above Construction Extractive Combined Sewer System versions of the above Forest/Wooded/Open Harvested Forest Row crops (high till) Row crops (low till) Vegetable Crops Pasture Fertilized Hay Alfalfa Nutrient management versions of the above Nursery Degraded Riparian Pasture AFO/CAFO Unfertilized Hay LCM info combined into Scenario Builder

5 Non-Point Source Practices Nutrient Application Reductions Scenario Builder Atmosphere Fertilizer Manure Runoff River

6 Non-Point Source Practices with Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Efficiencies Atmosphere Fertilizer Manure Runoff Load reductions attributed “efficiencies” Efficiencies can vary by region River Scenario Builder

7 Non-Point Source Practices utilizing Landuse Changes Runoff River Scenario Builder
