Reducing Pollution of Chesapeake Bay

Today, the EPA announced guidance for federal facilities to reduce pollution of Chesapeake Bay. The guidance will help provide tools to reduce nitrate and phosphate pollution that is leaching through surrounding sediment. The EPA website says, "The categories of activity that are addressed in this guidance are agriculture, urban and suburban (including turf), forestry, riparian areas, decentralized wastewater treatment systems, and hydromodification." I think it is really great to see more measures being taken to protect waterways. More information can be found at http://www.epa.gov/nps/chesbay502/
