PA’s Chesapeake Bay Watershed Planning Committee Meets Dec. 13 On Midpoint Assessment Of PA’s Progress

The Steering Committee for Phase 3 of PA’s Chesapeake Bay Watershed Plan meets December 13 to discuss the Chesapeake Bay Program’s midpoint assessment of Pennsylvania’s progress.

In 2010 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued Chesapeake Bay total maximum daily load (TMDL) targets for nitrogen, phosphorous, and sediment levels by 2025. The Chesapeake Bay Program has assessed Pennsylvania’s progress toward these targets at the halfway point and will issue revised TMDL targets later this month.

The meeting is open to the public, with comment opportunity at approximately 11:00 a.m.

The meeting will be held in Room 105 of the Rachel Carson Building starting at 9:00 a.m.  The meeting is also be available by webinar.  Click Here to register.
