WQ41: The most stringent of the three dissolved inorganic nitrogen load reduction targets shall apply:
i. Reduce dissolved inorganic nitrogen loads to pelagic and littoral Lake Tahoe from: a) surface runoff by approximately 50 percent of the 1973-81 annual average, b) groundwater approximately 30 percent of the 1973-81 annual average, and c) atmospheric sources approximately 20 percent of the 1973-81 annual average.
ii. Reduce dissolved inorganic nitrogen loading to Lake Tahoe from all sources by 25 percent of the 1973-81 annual average.
iii. To achieve littoral water quality standards (WQ5 and WQ6).
