2. LAKE CLARITY CREDITING PROGRAM motivating effective action to improve lake clarity

3. Have you seen projects like these?

4. Limited connectivity to the waterbody results in small load reductions for the cost. +$1.8m + 150kg

5. Infiltration basin above the grade, so does not actually receive water. +$0.8m + 0kg

6. Reporting requirements do not result in follow-up maintenance. +$0.75m + 0kg

7. GAO & others lack understanding of results… …so program effectiveness is questioned and funding attacked.

8. Compliance is based on a checklist of actions. Public opinion is based on dollars spent.

9. Compliance is based on a checklist of actions. Public opinion is based on dollars spent. TMDL & stormwater accounting unifies focus on water quality outcomes.

10. How can we make our TMDLs more effective?

11. TMDLs effectively… define baselines, goals & milestones. 15 Year Goal 10 Year Goal 5 Year Goal

12. TMDLs Identify Source Categories with LAs & WLAs Agricultural Atmospheric Stormwater - Municipalities Stormwater - DOT Point Sources

13. Accounting takes TMDLs one step further… defines site-scale incremental load reductions – credits links on-the-ground actions to system-wide goals.

14. Use load reductions as reporting criteria in NPS grant programs. TMDL Targets NPS Program Goals 10 Year Goal 5 Year Goal 2 Year Goal

15. Use load reductions as effluent limits in MS4 permits. TMDL Targets NPDES Permit Goals 10 Year Goal 5 Year Goal 2 Year Goal

16. TMDL & Stormwater accounting enables prioritization of… what to do & where to do it.

17. what to do. green gray o&m

18. whereto do it. Prioritized urban catchments based on expected load reduction potential.

19. TMDL & Stormwater accounting enables coordination between permitted entities. City of South Lake Tahoe CA DOT

20. Performance-Based Adaptive Management System

22. IntensiveImprove Models compare modeled to observed results

23. Is TMDL & stormwater accounting… worth the additional cost?

25. Performance and Cost Effectiveness Increase from TMDL & Stormwater Accounting. TMDL & Stormwater accounting Poorly performing projects

26. Performance and Cost Effectiveness Increase from TMDL & Stormwater Accounting. TMDL & Stormwater accounting Poorly performing projects
