2009
This project aims to modify and integrate a computerized nutrient trading tool developed nationally for NRCS to use in Maryland at the local Soil Conservation District level that will determine the status of nutrient credits on an individual farm. This will be compared to the nutrient level required to meet the Maryland Tributary Strategies or watershed TMDL. Additional enhancements will look at additional conservation practices that may be installed on the ground and the impact on the nutrient loss from the farm. It will also identify excess nutrient credits that may be available for trade within the watershed.

MINT will introduce the concept of nutrient trading in Missouri and develop a model market-based nutrient trading program where nutrient credits will be established for innovative and conventional best management practices and used to enhance conservation funding, provide supplemental income to producers through trading of nutrient credits, and accelerate nutrient loading reductions. MINT will collaborate with existing agricultural projects in Missouri that are working to quantify water quality benefits and establish nutrient credits for conservation practices. The trading program will be developed by applying and building upon nutrient quality trading programs developed in other states. The feasibility of implementing this trading platform in Missouri will be assessed through a simulated nutrient trading exercise between point and nonpoint sources of pollution in Mark Twain watershed using nutrient credits.

The Middle Meramec Conservation Opportunity Area (MMCOA) is a 450,000-acre area of tremendous terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity. The Missouri Ecological Classification System (ECS) Project has completed mapping for this geography at a site specific scale that is useful for land planning purposes. We propose to use this detailed ecological information to guide land management recommendations on private lands within MMCOA as a pilot for adoption in other Missouri Conservation Opportunity Area (COA) landscapes. This detailed ecological information is being developed for the entire state making this new approach to conservation planning beneficial to other conservation initiatives throughout Missouri. The project will be implemented on private land within the MMCOA in Crawford, Phelps, Franklin, and Washington counties, east central Missouri.
