The Chesapeake Bay Basinwide Toxics Reduction Strategy identifies the presence of harmful levels of toxic pollutants as a significant problem in the Chesapeake Bay. This appendix to the Strategy describes three major statutory requirements of the Clean Water Act which support the need for a long-term strategy to deal with the identification, assessment, and control of toxics in the Bay.
