Draft Appendix B – Chesapeake Bay TMDL for Nutrients and Sediment

B

‐ 1 September 24, 2010 Appendix B. Index of Documents Supporting the Chesapeake Bay TMDL

EPA is building an index of documents (with URL links for direct electronic access) that
includes materials EPA and its seven watershed jurisdictional partners relied upon by the in development of the Bay TMDL. These documents include but are not limited to data, analyses, computer programs, computer model code, scientif ic/technical references used or cited in the main Bay TMDL document, records of formal correspondence with the jurisdictional partners, relevant partnership meetings/conference calls, and other sup porting materials.

The listed documents are organized by subcategories to assist the reader in locating documents of interest. For each listed document, full reference citation (in the case of a formal publication) and
URL address for direct web-based electronic acce ss to the document will be provided. In the case of reference to data, the data repository a nd the URL address for dire ct electric access to the data will be provided. Some of the individual docum ents are listed in multiple categories to aid the readers to get access the correct documents.

The final Bay TMDL will include a more comprehensive and complete index of documents. The ultimate objective of this appendix is to ensure direct public access to the full array of data, documentation, models and computer program ming that supported development of the Chesapeake Bay TMDL.
