Penn State Extension will host another in its Water Cooler Talk Series on November 18 on Chesapeake Bay Lawsuits, Engagement and More from Noon to 1:00 p.m.
The webinar will be presented by Lara Fowler, Professor with Penn State Law and Assistant Director for Outreach and Engagement at the Institutes of Energy and the Environment at Penn State University.
Addressing water quality in the Chesapeake and its watersheds, including Pennsylvania, has been a long-standing challenge.
The need for further action has been highlighted by a recent set of lawsuits by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and a set of states against the Environmental Protection Agency for its failure to address water quality concerns in Pennsylvania and New York.
This talk will briefly set the stage for these lawsuits and discuss what this might mean for managing water issues in Pennsylvania, especially as the Commonwealth is undertaking work through the Watershed Implementation Planning process at the county level while also updating its statewide water management plan.
