Research Summary:

The Nutrient Criteria Workgroup, also called the "US EPA Region 7 Regional Technical Assistance Group," (RTAG) works together to establish nutrient criteria for lakes, streams, and wetlands of the US EPA Region 7 and the Central Plains Region. CPCB assembled a stream and a wetland database for the RTAG to examine to determine potential classification schemes and reference condition schemes for use in nutrient criteria. These databases are available upon request.
