Nutrient Tracking Tool (Saleh et al. 2011)

Web-based tool that compares agricultural management systems to calculate a change in nitrogen, phosphorous, sediment loss potential, and crop yield. Agricultural producers and land managers can enter a baseline management system and an alternative conservation management system and produce a report showing the nitrogen, phosphorous, sediment loss potential, and crop yield difference between the two systems.

Ohio Water Quality Standards Programs

Our water quality is constantly threatened by many different sources and types of pollution. Under the Clean Water Act, every state must adopt water quality standards to protect, maintain and improve the quality of the nation's surface waters. These standards represent a level of water quality that will support the goal of "swimmable/fishable" waters. Water quality standards are ambient standards as opposed to discharge-type standards. These ambient standards, through a process of back calculation procedures known as total maximum daily loads or wasteload allocations form the basis of water quality based permit limitations that regulate the discharge of pollutants into surface waters under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program.

OpenNSPECT (Non-point Source and Erosion Comparison Tool, NOAA)

Use the Open-source Nonpoint Source Pollution and Erosion Comparison Tool (OpenNSPECT) to investigate potential water quality impacts from development, other land uses, and climate change. OpenNSPECT was designed to be broadly applicable. When applied to coastal and noncoastal areas alike, the tool simulates erosion, pollution, and their accumulation from overland flow.

Package Plants

Set of guidance documents to be used to evaluate a total of 153,511 onsite wastewater treatment systems which have been permitted since August of 2001. In 2011, 805 installer and maintenance licenses were issued to qualified individuals. Approximately 45,625,000,000 gallons of wastewater per year is treated by onsite wastewater treatment systems in the state of Louisiana.

Pesticide Programs

Established by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), provides the legal basis under which pesticides are regulated.
