High erosion potential can be mitigated through the use of erosion barriers and land use planning.  Development in an area with high erosion potential should be done in a way that controls erosion and limits the impacts on the lake.  This model could serve as a tool when planning future developments or erosion control measures.
	This model can be helpful when trying to pinpoint the sources of phosphorus that are entering Togus Pond in the form of runoff.  Areas that have high erosion potential are more likely to be contributing to the external phosphorus load of the lake.
	Focusing erosion control efforts on areas with high erosion potential will lead to more efficient prevention of runoff.  New housing should be built with caution in areas with high erosion potential, since clearing forest and building houses can result in large amounts of erosion.
