Crediting Homeowner BMPs to Help Meet the Bay Pollution Diet

Homeowner BMP Crediting UNM Plan for 9200 Bradford Pear Lane: 0.5 acres 1Get Expert Lawn Advice 2Maintain Dense Cover on Turf 3Choose NOT to fertilize 4Recycle Lawn Clippings and Compost Fallen Leaves 5Correct Fertilizer Timing N/A 6Use Slow Release Fertilizer N/A 7Set Mower Height at 3 inches 8No off-target fertilization N/A 9Fertilizer free buffer zones around water features 10Increase soil porosity and infiltration 8 Urban Nutrient Mgmt Rain gardens Rainwater Harvesting Downspout Disconnection Tree Planting Conservation Landscaping Permeable Driveways

Homeowner uploads basic data to local web site Other tools to manage and aggregate homeowner BMP from local and state databases directly into CBWM Removal rates are based on expert panel reports

Next Steps Conduct pilots in MD in 2013 to test tools, data management issues and verification capacity (MDE) Homeowner BMP guide (Riverwise/CSN) Ad hoc crediting team (EPA CBPO) Bay-wide rollout to take credit for 2014 progress runs

Homeowner BMP Delivery Issues Expand to non-residential properties Link to local BMP incentive/subsidy programs Credit BMPs installed to reduce stormwater utility fees Training of on-site homeowner BMP evaluators Link to other practices inside the home (e.g., energy conservation)
