About the Map
The shaded polygons in the map above represent the 58 watershed segments associated with the Chesapeake Bay TMDL and WIP allocations in Maryland. Every segment is assigned a separate TMDL for each of three pollutants: nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment.

How to Use the Map
Clicking on a shaded polygon will display information about the TMDL for that Chesapeake Bay segment, including the segment name and ID. Each shape is also identified with a GIS ID number which corresponds to a record in the online TMDL search tool for each of the Chesapeake Bay TMDL pollutants.
