Abstract
The objectives of this project were twofold: first, a comprehensive land use inventory was undertaken to assist Maine DEP in developing a Phosphorus Control Action Plan (PCAP) and a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) report for the Long Lake watershed. Simply stated, a TMDL is the total amount of phosphorus that a lake can receive without harming water quality. Maine DEP, with the assistance of the MACD Project Team, will address and incorporate public comments before final submission to the US Environmental Protection Agency (Region I). Secondly, watershed survey work, including a shoreline survey, was conducted by the Maine DEP-MACD-LEA project team to help assess total phosphorus reduction techniques that would be beneficial for the Long Lake watershed. Watershed survey work included assessing many direct drainage nonpoint source (NPS) pollution sites that were not previously identified.
