    2019 Phosphorus Load Reductions1,110,453 pounds

    Since 2013, voluntary conservationefforts from Indiana's privatelandowners, with support fromthe Indiana Conservation Partnership,have reduced sediment and nutrientsfrom entering Indiana's waterways.

    1,110,453 pounds of Phosphorus

    x 5.5

    That's enough to fill over 5standard freight cars!

    This reduction is enough to preventover 550,000,000 pounds ofsurface algae from growing.

    Based on EPA Region 5 Model analyses conducted on 15,910 conservation practicesinstalled by the Indiana Conservation Partnership January 2013 thru December 2019.This effort does not include the many unassisted practices designed and installed solelyby a private landowner without ICP assistance.

    This map portrays load reductions from conservation practices implemented in thecalendar year 2019, and does not account for practices that were installed previouslyand are actively reducing sediment and nutrient loading.

    Reductions in dissolved nutrients, such as dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP)and nitrate (NO3), are not accounted for by the Region 5 Model.
