This report is part of a bi-state reserach effort funded by the EPA Chesapeake Bay Program between the states of Maryland and Virginia. This report describes the Virginia project. The Maryland project is described in another publication. The VA project (EPA grant #X-00315-01-0) evaluates soild and slopes characteristic of the mid-Atlantic coastal plain. Together these projects provide an assessment of the effectiveness of vegetated filter strips in removing pollutants from surface water under different environmental conditions.
