Chesapeake Bay Foundation Letter Supporting Regulations that Significantly Reduce Runoff Pollution into the Bay
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation is seeking support for proposed regulations that the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and the Department of Conservation & Recreation are proposing to significantly reduce runoff pollution into the Chesapeake Bay.
These proposed regulations would do two major things:
1) Reduce the quantity of pollution that runs off of new development ; and
2) Ensure excess nutrients don't end up in streams from farms that use poultry manure.
The letter the Chesapeake Bay Foundation plans to send to Virginia's Governor Kaine, the DEQ and DCR by August 21st, at the end of the public comment period, is attached above. If your organization is interested in signing on, you can reply to Emily Francis at efrancis@cbf.org. Feel free to contact her with any questions you may have as well.
