Meeting with EPA on Chesapeake Bay

Jim and Keith Rudy met this morning in Kent Island, MD with builders from Maryland and Delaware and representatives from the U.S. E.P.A. to discuss the upcoming initiatives related to the Chesapeake Bay Executive Order.

According to EPA, the States now have draft TMDL numbers and should be developing implementation plans.  It was clear from the discussions that EPA is leaning towards recommending no new development in the basin with 2:1 offsets for nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment.
