Local governments in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, of which there are over 1,650, have repeatedly indicated a need for tools, techniques and models to help them contribute to the Chesapeake Bay restoration and protection effort and simultaneously, achieve community goals. With this in mind, the Chesapeake Bay Program's Toxics Subcommittee, in coordination with the Chesapeake Bay Local Government Advisory Committee, developed the Local Government Pollution Prevention Toolkit to help local governments implement polution prevention programs. Local governments implement pollution prevention programs. Local governments are vital to the pollution prevention (P2) effort; however, a gap exists in the practical and technical information available to this audience. The Toolkit seeks to fill this gap.
