Review of Published Export Coefficient and Event Mean Concentration (EMC) Data

Abstract

This technical note summarizes and reviews published export coefficient and event mean concentration (EMC) data for use in estimating pollutant loading into watersheds. These numbers can be used to measure pollutant loadings into wetlands having their own defined catchment. This can be useful for regulatory and planning purposes, such as estimating the impact of changing land use on wetlands, or analyzing the effects of wetlands on mitigating pollutant loads into water bodies. This note also discusses possible regional trends in export coefficients and EMCs, and the utility of "regionalized" values.
