SCOPE OF RULES 1 The proposed strategy is designed to comprehensively reduce nitrogen and phosphorus loading to each of the three arms of Jordan Reservoir (shown in map below). The set of rules targets point and major nonpoint nutrient sources. The rules are designed to distribute reduction responsibility proportionally among all sources relative to a common starting point of 2001. The segmented hydrologic behavior of Jordan Reservoir requires three sets of loading goals corresponding to the three reservoir arms shown on the map: the Upper New Hope, Lower New Hope, and Haw. A total of 12 rules are proposed that require new management actions for agriculture runoff, new and existing development stormwater runoff, municipal and industrial wastewater, fertilizer applicators and protection of riparian buffers across all land uses.
