Nutrient Trading To Begin in Chesapeake Bay Watershed

摘要

Dischargers to the Chesapeake Bay watershed may be able to begin nutrient trading next month, based on a guidance document developed by a negotiation team representing federal, state, public, and private interests.rnThe nutrient trading program is the latest effort by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and public and private interests in the states surrounding the bay — Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania — to restore the health of the bay, the country's largest estuary.
