... Once a determination is made regarding whether sufficient data exist and whether the data point to nutrients as a stressor, then the water is listed as impaired, a TMDL developed, and load reduction implemented through a BMAP. By contrast, the EPA numeric process (Figure A-2)

... This additional study necessarily results in added time required to reach the TMDL stage in the overall process. The EPA numeric process opts to minimize Type II error -- not listing a waterbody as impaired that is truly impaired.
