Lancaster County Clean Water Consortium Chesapeake Bay Cleanup Seminar On Sept. 21
|
|
The Lancaster County Clean Water Consortium will hold a seminar on September 21 to hear an update on efforts by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Environmental Protection to reduce nutrients and sediments flowing into the Chesapeake Bay.
Barry Smith, Manor Township Manager, will discuss a recent MS4 stormwater regulatory audit. There will also be a panel of local stakeholders to discuss why it is critical for Lancaster County to control its own water quality destiny and the role of the Consortium in accomplishing this goal.
The seminar will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Manheim Township Public Library located in the Overlook Community Park.
The mission of the Consortium is to devise a proactive, efficient and cohesive countywide strategy to accomplish restoration of the waterways of Lancaster County and ultimately address pollution reduction targets for the Chesapeake Bay.
The Consortium is open to all municipalities, authorities, non-profit organizations, businesses, agricultural operators, developers, landowners, school districts and other interested stakeholders.
The Conservation Foundation of Lancaster County is helping to fund the Consortium.
