Research Summary:

CPCB faciltated and created databases for the US EPA Region 7 Nutrient Criteria Regional Technical Assistance Group (RTAG) which works together to establish nutrient criteria for lakes, streams, and wetlands of the USEPA Region 7 and the Central Plains Region. CPCB also began assembly of a wetland database for the RTAG to examine to determine potential classification schemes and reference condition schemes for use in nutrient criteria. Results were presented at the RTAG wetlands meeting in Denver Nov. 2008 (EPA and GLEC grants

FED41930 and IND0060718).
