 Regional
issue description: High nutrient
concentrations are one of the major sources of impairment
of inland and coastal waters within Region 2. Several nutrient
management projects are underway as an element of the regional
program, including: measuring in-stream nutrient concentrations
in Puerto Rico; developing and making accessible nutrient
management tools (including state phosphorus indexes to help
manage the application of nutrients on agricultural lands)
and advancing the management of onsite wastewater treatment
systems throughout the region (also a significant pathogen
issue).
