HB 2267 Tributary plans; sediments and suspended solids.
Introduced by: W. Tayloe Murphy, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles | history
SUMMARY AS PASSED:
Tributary plans; sediments and suspended solids. Adds sediment and suspended solids as pollutants which are to be the subject of tributary plans. Currently, tributary plans are to include provisions to reduce the flow of nutrients into the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. This bill would require the plans to include, as is the current requirement with nutrients, specific strategies, goals, commitments and methods of implementation to achieve reductions in sediment and suspended solids from nonpoint sources sufficient to achieve living resource goals, particularly those related to habitat conditions necessary to support submerged aquatic vegetation.
