Effectiveness of State Developed and Implemented Forestry Best Management Practices in the United States
… Act of 1972 required states to develop forestry BMPs to help reduce potential nonpoint source pollution from forest operations. Properly applied forestry best management practices (BMPs) have since been proven to protect water quality from forest operations. This research project reviewed BMP …

Evaluating Best Management Practices For Minimized Pesticides Transport With The Wepp-Ui Model
Best management practice (BMP) tools that provide site-specific water quality suggestions with limited input data are needed to assist consultants and farm advisors as they work to target BMP placement and reduce dissolved and sediment bound pesticide loads from agricultural landscapes. BMP …

Legacy Nutrient Management and Remediation in Diverse Agricultural Watersheds
… intervention. The second chapter evaluates the effectiveness and uncertainty of widely implemented agricultural best management practices (BMPs) for mitigating legacy phosphorus at the watershed scale. A Monte Carlo ensemble modeling framework is used to propagate uncertainty in key P-related …

Soil Erosion from Forest Haul Roads at Stream Crossings as Influenced by Road Attributes
… sediment and forestry best management practice (BMP) effectiveness from haul road stream crossing approaches and ditches. The three studies in this dissertation provide a quantitative assessment of sediment production and potential sediment delivery from forest haul roads in the Virginia Piedmont …

Sediment Delivery from Reopened Forest Roads at Stream Crossings in the Virginia Piedmont Physiographic Region, USA
… diverse intensities of best management practice (BMP) implementations for surface cover and water control. Model predictions from the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) were compared to field observations of surface runoff and sediment delivery to evaluate model performance. Annual sediment …
