Abstract

The study highlights municipality experiences with implementaion of the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) stream restoration crediting protocols across the Chesapeake Bay Watershed at the state and local municipality level. It also examines feedback from selected states outside of the Chesapeake Bay watershed who have adopted or are considering adopting WRF's stream restoration crediting guidance. The final report includes a review of stream restoration monitoring case studies and stream restoration crediting and trading programs, and surveys of states and municipalities inside and outside of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
