“…Research has shown that the choice of the TMDL reference watershed can greatly affect both the TMDL load and the relative reduction required from the impaired watershed (Wagner, 2004). The Generalized Watershed Loading Function (GWLF) model has been used for most of the modeling performed for benthic impairments in Virginia.…”

“…The basic assumption of the reference watershed approach is that if the unit‐area pollutant load in the impaired watershed is reduced to the same level as in the reference watershed, then the health of the benthic community in the impaired watershed will be restored. Additional details on the reference watershed approach are available from Wagner (2004)…”

“…Some of the DOQQ-based land use used in this study was developed by Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and some was developed by the Virginia Tech TMDL Development Group. Areas digitized by Virginia Tech were checked and approved by DCR (Wagner, 2004). …”

“…However, since the DOQQ-based land use was available, DOQQ-based land use was chosen for land use parameter development for the SWAT model. The land use types used in the DOQQ land use development were converted to the land uses in the SWAT databases based on best professional judgment and on advice from the SWAT User's Manual (Neitsch et al, 2002a;Wagner, 2004). After the reclassification of land uses into the categories in the SWAT databases, an overlay of the land use and soil layers was used to create the hydrologic response units (HRUs) in SWAT.…”
