2. In the Southern Rivers watersheds, nutrient load reductions from practices in place prior to July 1, 2009 may not be used to generate credits.

D. For land use conversions, conversion of land to a more intensive land-use activity will not generate nutrient credits. The number of potential nutrient credits shall be determined by calculating the nutrient credits per acre and multiplying that number by the total acreage which will undergo land use conversion. The nutrient credits per acre is equal to the amount calculated by subtracting the load per acre of nutrient nonpoint source pollution for the proposed land use after conversion from the load per acre for the pre-conversion land use. The values used for the loadings per acre in this calculation shall be based on the applicable loading levels provided in the WIP or the approved TMDL. The pre-conversion land use shall be based on the land use as of the date specified in 9VAC25-900-100 E. The load per acre for the pre-conversion land use shall reflect the implementation of any applicable baseline practices necessary to comply with 9VAC25-900-100 B, C and D. No credits shall be generated from the conversion of land within 35 feet of a water body with perennial water flow as measured from the top of the channel bank.

E. For a practice not previously approved by the department, the department will perform a case-by-case review in order to calculate the number of potential nutrient credits generated. The owner shall submit the removal efficiency calculation information for the practice and the calculation of the potential number of credits generated using that efficiency.
