Abstract:
Based on chlorophyll-a predictions from the Neuse Estuary Eutrophication Model, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources has recommended no immediate change in the thirty-percent nitrogen reduction goal for the Neuse River Estuary. Scientists caution that changes to the total maximum daily load (TMDL) for total nitrogen could still occur later in the evaluation process.
