It is interesting to read this piece in comparison to the report earlier this year from Chesapeake Bay where BMP applications (particularly agricultural) did not meet model expectations and the factors used were being significantly lowered for future model applications. The question is whether widespread BMP use is really producing projected ecological improvement at a watershed scale?

The bottom line for BMP comparisons should be the cost per kg of pollutant removed. For some BMPs this can be done with actual cleanout records. Others will be calculated removals. This is how the WWTP guys compare technologies.
