NUMERIC NUTRIENT CRITERIA

The USEPA recommends three types of approaches for setting numeric nutrient criteria:

- reference condition approach

- stressor-response analysis

- mechanistic modeling. least, twicethreein consecutive years. average concentrationof annualgeometricmeansshouldless be than to, or at equal ASegment’s 1 reach in year possiblelevela segment’s averageconcentrationof annual geometricmeanscan ASegment’s AnnualMeanGeometric(AGM) Limit that a station concentrationcanat reachtime any AStation’s NeverExceedto Limit (NTE)
