EPA Announces Public Meetings to Discuss Bay TMDLs

EPA has announced a schedule of 18 public meetings throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed this fall to discuss the draft Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). The meetings will be held from late September to early November. One meeting in each state will be accessible online via webinar.

Complete information on the meetings, including dates, times, venues, directions and webinar registration links can be found on the Bay TMDL web site. The Bay TMDL will set binding limits on nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment pollution to meet clean water standards for the Bay and its tidal tributaries and help restore local rivers and streams.
