Description The Puget Sound Nutrient Reduction Plan details Ecology’s strategy to restore dissolved oxygen levels to water quality standard in Puget Sound by 2050. We have developed total nitrogen targets for both marine point sources discharging to Puget Sound and the watersheds draining into the Sound to achieve this goal. The nitrogen targets will be used to set limits for point sources discharging to the Sound and will assist in developing water clean-up plans for watersheds draining to the Sound. To assist with implementation of these targets, the plan also provides a compendium of financial resources, a schedule and measurable milestones for implementation, future monitoring strategy to track progress, and our adaptive management approach.
