In June of 1998 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a National Strategy for Development of Regional Nutrient Criteria to help states in developing nutrient water quality standards for lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, wetlands, estuaries, and coastal waters. The European Commission took similar action in Directive 91/676/EEC which requires member states to identify nitrate vulnerable zones (NVZs) and take steps to monitor, control, and reduce water pollution from excessive use of fertilizers.

In characterizing the problem of nutrient pollution the USEPA stated; "Cultural eutrophication (human-caused inputs of excess nutrients in waterbodies) is one of the primary factors resulting in impairment of surface waters in the US."2 Nutrient pollution reduction is a priority for USEPA regions because states have listed over 10,000 nutrient-related Clean Water Act Section 303 (d) impairments.
