Chesapeake Bay Program

Reducing pollution from nonpoint sources has been one of the most difficult cj=hallenges in the Chesapeake Bay restoration effort. The states and the federal government have joined in mounting a comprehensive effort to define, quantify and control nonpoint source pollution. The level of effort and the dollar resources that we have devoted to this challenge since 1983 are unprecedented. The nonpoint activities are coordinated by a regional committee which is part of tje Bay Programs management structure.
