Lake Erie Urban Eutrophication: Phosphorus Management Practices, Policies, and Research Needs

This research workshop focuses on clarifying the link between urban areas and eutrophication in Lake Erie. It reviews the current policies, programs, and legislative measures for managing phosphorus in Canada, the US, and other Great Lakes watersheds, while identifying gaps and recommending research needs. The effectiveness of lake-wide protection acts, offsetting/trading programs, and funding for aging infrastructure are assessed, along with the quantification of phosphorus loadings and identification of priority areas and emerging sources.

  2. The PPL Summary Table Canada US Other Great Lakes Watersheds

  3. Identified Gaps in PPLs

  4. Recommendations & Research Needs • Lake-wide protection act and associated plan • All the PPLs and agricultural sources • Offsetting/trading program • What would the effectiveness be? • Quantify phosphorus loadings • Identity priority areas and implement policy • Funding body for ageing infrastructure • Target priority areas and most significant sources • Identify emerging sources of phosphorous • What emerging industries will contribute new sources of phosphorous to Lake Erie?
