EPA releases details on bay cleanup
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released details today about how it expects states to restore the Chesapeake Bay.
Among other things, the federal agency wants the states to have new controls in place by 2017 that will achieve 60 percent of the pollution cuts needed to restore the bay.
The bay states had agreed previously to put controls in place by 2025 that should be sufficient to clean the bay.
"EPA's expectations for states and [the District of Columbia] are a key element of this new era of ecosystem restoration," said William C. Early, acting administrator for the EPA's mid-Atlantic region.
