The PA Chesapeake Bay Watershed Planning Steering Committee is scheduled to meet on December 17 and are likely to discuss a more refined set of workgroup recommendations for strategies to achieve watershed cleanup goals in Pennsylvania.

The Agriculture, Forestry and Stormwater workgroups have already presented their recommendations to the Committee once and are likely to present a few more details, including an estimate of the resources they need to implement the strategies, for additional discussion.

The Wastewater workgroup is finishing up their recommendations and cost estimates so they are in the cue as well.

The other major workgroup-- Funding-- will not present its findings until January or February since their work is based on the needs identified by the other workgroups.           

The meeting will be in Room 105 of the Rachel Carson Building in Harrisburg from 1:00 to 4:00.  Click Here to register to attend by webinar.  Participants will also need to call in 1-650-479-3208, PASSCODE 644 895 237.
