EPA, in collaboration with the CBP partnership, will consider the results of the midpoint assessment and jurisdictions’ Phase III WIPs to determine whether modification of the 2010 Chesapeake Bay TMDL is necessary and appropriate. Future changes to Phase II planning targets and TMDL allocations are not a presumption of the results of the midpoint assessment. After midpoint assessment is complete, EPA will work with the Partnership to set Phase III WIP planning targets. Based on the midpoint assessment and Phase III WIPs, EPA, with input from the partnership, will determine whether to modify the 2010 Bay TMDL.
