The vast majority of nutrients and sediment washed into streams flowing into the Chesapeake Bay are picked up by deluges from severe storms that occur on relatively few days of the year. That is the conclusion of a new study led by Penn State researchers, who say it offers clues for cleaning up the impaired estuary. A small percentage of locations and events contribute to the vast majority of total annual pollution loads entering the bay, said Heather Preisendanz, associate professor of agricultural and biological engineering, College of Agricultural Sciences. These findings stress the importance of concentrating our efforts on hot moments not just hot spots across impaired
