  Name of water body: Biscayne Bay
 
Describe, specifically, how it will reduce loadings, identify anticipated load reductions for total suspended solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and other contaminants, and specify the practices that will be used to reduce loadings:
Reduction Factors Calculation Inlet Trap + Baffle Box + Exfiltration Trench (to treat 0.5" runoff) Phosphorus 100*(0.853)+(100-100*(0.853))*0.50=92.65% Nitrogen 100*(0.79)+(100-100*(0.79))*0.50=89.50% TSS 100*(0.811)+(100-100*(0.811))*0.50=90.55%
