Description:This report summarizes the outcomes and recommendations from a two day workshop on wastewater treatment plant-derived effluent organic nitrogen (EON) that occurred in Baltimore, Maryland on September 26 and 27, 2007. The targeted outcomes from this workshop were to develop a prioritized research strategy for: * implementing a reliable protocol(s) to determine the bioavailability of EON in receiving waters, and * understanding how upstream treatment technologies influence the generation or removal of this bioavailable organic nitrogen fraction. The participants, identified in Table 1, were a highly multidisciplinary mix of wastewater utility personnel, wastewater design engineers, watershed modelers, regulatory and government personnel, natural systems researchers, and wastewater engineering researchers. This mix of participants successfully articulated a research plan for EON that identifies the research needs in the treatment plant as well as downstream of the treatment plant (in the watershed). The workshop was co-sponsored through a collaborative effort between the Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) to the Chesapeake Bay Program and the Water Environment Research Foundation’s (WERF’s) Nutrient Challenge program.
