  3. *Flow is variable in tributaries –less flow in critical season*None of these numbers apply trading ratios that are yet to be developed* Assumes that all best management practices in the TMDL are being implemented • ** Potential ideas for trading projects for load remaining available after reduction (last column) • Look at direct seed or other conservation practices. • Reduce streambank erosion • Repair failing residential on-site septic systems.
