Bantam lake nutrient tmdl modeling
Back to Project
CEI was selected by USEPA Region 1 to conduct lake and watershed modeling in support of establishing a nutrient Total Maximum Daily Load for Bantam Lake, the largest natural lake in Connecticut. Modeling included use of the Lake Loading Response Model (LLRM) and BATHTUB models. The validated model was used to calculate nutrient loading capacity and the nutrient load reductions needed to meet water quality targets for Bantam Lake. CEI also conducted training of USEPA and CTDEEP staff on general limnology concepts and use of LLRM and BATHTUB.
