2010 Maryland Legislative Session Review

Clean Water Action fought hard in Annapolis along with members and environmental allies to continue to improve Maryland's water and air quality as well as programs for land preservation. Leading up to and during the 90 day session, our members sent hundreds of letters and emails to elected officials supporting our agenda.

Clean Water Action had two major legislative priorities this year: stormwater and incinerators. We also worked to make sure the budget included adequate funding for state programs.

Protecting and Restoring the Chesapeake

  • Protecting and Restoring the Chesapeake

    In 1983, 1987 and 2000, Maryland Governors and their counterparts in Virginia, the District of Columbia and other jurisdictions in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed signed formal agreements that set timelines for cleaning up the Bay. The most recent agreement called for deadlines that were to be met by 2010. That deadline will not be met. Clean Water Action supported the strongest possible version of this latest agreement, understanding that we would continue fighting for the enforcement of the Clean Water Act as the likeliest means restoring the Bay.
