Finally, A Chesapeake Bay Cleanup Plan That's Not Voluntary and That Has a Budget
- "President Barack Obama signed an executive order today creating a Federal Leadership Committee for the Chesapeake Bay to be chaired by the Environmental Protection Agency. The executive order calls for EPA and six other federal agencies to coordinate and expand federal tools and resources to help speed cleanup of the nations largest estuary. ... EPAs renewed commitment to bay restoration will include a bay-wide set of strict pollution caps backed by state action plans and federal consequences to assure progress; sharp reductions in air pollutants that impact the bay; robust use of existing authorities; key funding support, and unrivaled scientific and technical assistance." - quote from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) news release of May 12, 2009.
