This Stakeholder Advisory Group (SAG) has been convened to assist the Department with developing guidance for nutrient reduction crediting of shoreline management restoration projects in Virginia. This guidance document will serve as the technical criteria for crediting shoreline projects. The intent of this guidance document is to address crediting gaps in the Chesapeake Bay Program’s (CBP) “Recommendations of the Expert Panel to Define Removal Rates for Shoreline Management Projects” that remained open for interpretation.
