It is critical each year that BMP Data Entry & Verification is completed on time and as accurate as possible. The 2019 BMP Verification lists were sent out in August of 2018. All farms that were selected were required to have verification completed by June 30, 2019. All data for verifications as well as regular data entry was due to be entered into the database by July 31, 2019 for the 2019 progress run. I am pleased to announce that as of August 9th, all 2019 Verifications were completed and accounted for in the data base. The month of August will be used to complete quality assurance reviews all on data that was entered this year, and you will be notified if there are any red flags. Starting in September, 2019 Progress Year data submission testing will begin to be sure that all of our data is being submitted correctly to the Chesapeake Bay Program. During this time, you are free to continue to enter any data in the USC AEM Online Tool. If there is any data that has been missed and should be included for 2019 progress, as long as it has an implementation date prior to June 30, 2019 when entered into the database, it will be included with our submissions. Once test submissions begin, I will send each county a report showing totals for each BMP reported for you to review. Please contact me with any questions you may have regarding the database or data entry.
