Biosolids Disposal, Reduce, Science
3.2 Quantify the cost and effectiveness of biosolids disposition Key Message: Because most biosolids are generated by municipal wastewater treatment facilities, emerging markets for biosolids products may offer economic and environmental benefits to communities....
Fertilizer Management & Soil Regeneration, Reduce, Science
4.1 Estimate nutrient loading from fertilizer Key Message: Understanding the relative contribution of fertilizer to nutrient loading can help prioritize management strategies. Loads may be reasonably estimated using nutrient budget coefficients based on inputs, plant...
Atmospheric Deposition & Clean Machines, Reduce, Science
5.1 Estimate nitrogen loading from atmospheric deposition using multiple monitoring stations within urban areas Key Message: Atmospheric deposition—both direct and indirect—is a major nitrogen source to land and water in Sarasota County. Additional monitoring stations...
Remove, Science, Stormwater System Design & Maintenance
6.1 Estimate and communicate annual nutrient loads from stormwater Key Message: Robust, long-term monitoring and modeling programs that account for surface and subsurface runoff, streamflow, and the composition of nitrogen species (organic and inorganic) are essential...
Remove, Science, Stormwater System Design & Maintenance
6.2 Quantify costs and effectiveness of stormwater best management practices Key Message: Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) can capture and treat nutrient-laden runoff before it enters waterbodies, with varying degrees of efficiency. Where large-scale...
Habitat and Species Enhancement and Restoration, Remove, Science
8.1 Restore and enhance wetland and shoreline hydrology and habitats to increase nutrient uptake and storage by plants Key Message: Protecting, restoring, and enhancing wetlands and shorelines is among the most cost-effective tools available to reduce nutrient...
