2005 Annual Model Assessment
• Point Sourceso Point source discharges have only been updated for MD, VA
and DC. o Point source discharges for NY, PA, WV, and DE will be revised
within the next two weeks.
• Landuses and Animalso Trends in landuses and animals are interpolations of Phase 4.3
2000 and 2010 (Tributary Strategy) base conditions.
• Conservation-Tillageo Mostly using 1998 CTIC (Conservation Technology Information
Center) Crop Residue Management data. 2002 updates for MD . . . and WV. Hope to obtain 2002 and 2004 for all jurisdictions but not before
2005 annual model assessment is final.
2005 Annual Model Assessment
• Poultry Phytaseo All jurisdictions given credit for “16%” reduction from pre-phytase
condition for layers, broilers, and turkeys. Beyond “16%” requires data from jurisdictions.
• Poultry Litter Transporto MD transporting to PA, DE, VA, within state, and out of CB watershed. o WV transporting within state and out of CB watershed. o DE transporting to PA, MD, VA, within state, and out of CB watershed. o All states transporting within state = within model segment.
• Atmospheric Depositiono All jurisdictions credited with lower atmospheric deposition of nitrogen
as assessed through trends in monitoring data used in calibration of the Phase 5 Watershed Model.
Benefits of NOx SIP Call and other air programs. o TSWG Decision – Is deposition reduction correct or defensible?

• Provides estimates of N deposition resulting from changes in precursor
emissions from utility, mobile, and industrial sources due to management actions or
growth. • Adjusts deposition determined by wet-fall
concentration model and precipitation volumes
• Predicts the influence of source loads from one region on deposition in other regions. • Provides estimates of wet:dry for NO3
- and NH4

Sources of Nitrogen Loads to the Chesapeake Bay
• Sources of nitrogen loads from land areas are based on the relative inputs of natural and anthropogenic sources.
• Point source loads reflect measured discharges while nonpoint source loads are based on an average-hydrology year.
• All inputs and outputs assessed for and by the Chesapeake Bay Program Phase 4.3 Watershed Model.
Primary Sources of
Atmospheric Deposition
• Vehicles and mobile sources
• Electric utilities,
industry & stationary
sources• Livestock & fertilized soil
emissions• Lightning & forest soils
