Editor’s Note
Sometimes, you have to choose between tightening your
belt or losing your pants. In the Chesapeake Bay watershed, this is that time.
Five years have passed since the states wrote their own
plans to meet the pollution-reduction goals set forth by EPA
as part of the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint. We saw
early progress in reductions from wastewater treatment.
Reducing pollution from agriculture—the biggest source
of pollution to our waterways—has been problematic.
Opposition from the Farm Bureau and other agricultural
interests and a lack of funding has slowed progress.
As we approach the 2017 mid-Blueprint milestone, it
appears that Maryland and Virginia are on track.
Pennsylvania, the state with the biggest belt, is woefully
behind. (page 5)
It will take all of us tightening up to achieve clean water.
