Scope and Guidance

The Work Group should consider: (1) the protection of established nutrient allocations of existing facilities and investments that have been made pursuant to such allocations, (2) the needs of expanding and new point sources in the watershed; (3) the minimization of offset demands by new or expanding facilities by analysis of technologically and economically feasible alternatives; (4) the establishment of a merit-based qualification process for nutrient credit acquisition to align offset supplies with state and local economic development goals; (5) the cost and value of existing infrastructure, of credit generation, of credit use for offset purposes, and of other offset methods; (6) support for innovation and voluntary incentives to promote credit generation, exchange and use to meet offset needs; (7) priorities for continued state investment in water quality improvement, including the Nutrient Offset Fund, the Water Quality Improvement Fund and other state economic development incentives; and (8) flexibility in achieving water quality standards under the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL).
