Illinois and neighboring states assess nutrient loads and programs
The report notes a 16 percent drop in phosphorus from baseline in Illinois but a 17 percent rise in average annual phosphorus from 2011 to 2015. Missouri lacks baselines and numeric limits yet funds conservation via a long standing sales tax program covering up to 75 percent of practices. Ohio emphasizes Lake Erie protection amid algal blooms and nitrate phosphorus trading pilots with Indiana and Kentucky part of a large basin program.
