The Nutrient Scientific Technical Exchange Partnership and Support website is a series of pages developed to supplement the EPA's Office of Water Nutrient Criteria program, run through the Health and Ecological Criteria Division (HECD).

N-STEPS (Nutrient Scientific Technical Exchange Partnership and Support) provides direct support for nutrient criteria development. This site is a "One Stop Shop" for national, regional, and local nutrient criteria developments. The types of assistance available from N-STEPS include:

read questions and responses about the science of nutrient criteria development, as well as implementation questions,
see presentations by state nutrient experts and water quality managers,
participate in webcasts,
participate in nutrient related discussion boards,
view a bulletin board of recent nutrient happenings in other regions as well as at Headquarters,
and download factsheets and guidance documents on nutrient water quality criteria issues such as:
- Nutrient-algal dynamics
- Sampling design for determining ecosystem specific nutrient algal dynamics
- Statistical analysis of data to assess nutrient-algal dynamics
