There will be a public meeting to learn more about next steps in the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) planning process, and to provide feedback on Virginia’s Phase II Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP) that was submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency in March. The meeting will be held on May 31st at James Madison University, with support from the Shenandoah Valley Pure Water Forum, the Central Shenandoah Planning District Commission, the Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission, and the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation.
