PA Chesapeake Bay Watershed Planning Steering Committee Meets July 10
|
|
The PA Chesapeake Bay Watershed Planning Steering Committee is scheduled to meet on July 10 to continue the development of Pennsylvania’s Phase III Watershed Implementation Plan. Since its last meeting, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sent letters to all Chesapeake Bay Watershed states on June 21 outlining its expectations for what it would like to see in the Phase III Plans. A page and a half was devoted to specific expectations for Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia combined. Four pages were devoted to Pennsylvania. If it was not clear before, EPA made the point clearly that Pennsylvania will be held accountable for meeting its Chesapeake Bay cleanup obligations, obligations it has committed itself to in several Chesapeake Bay Agreements over decades, and that EPA’s role is to provide that accountability.
