Management Practice Miner What is the Management Practice (MP) Miner? The MP Miner is a compendium of documented non-point source pollution management practices. The purpose of the MP Miner is to provide a list of management practices that can be used to reduce the effects of various pollutants in water bodies. The practices contained in the database are collected from various scientific texts, journals, web sites, grant projects and presentations. What type of information does the MP Miner contain? The MP Miner contains relevant information that will assist in the implementation of each management practice and will include all available information such as technical specifications, costs, parameters addressed, and quantitative pollutant reductions. The practices contained within this database include practices considered standard by various groups but the emphasis is on sustainable and innovative practices that will limit the introduction of pollutants into the watershed and mitigate their ease of movement. What are potential uses of this database? The information accessed in this database can be used to assess the potential of individual management practices to reduce the impacts of specific pollutants and to estimate the costs of implementation. |
