I have sent the first very first comment through the Environmental Protection Agency's website to EPA Administrator-Designate Lisa Jackson. You will increasingly see that water is one of those issues on which I will focus in my blog. Water is essential to human life, health and prosperity and must be at the center of environmental policy.
To see my comment, please check out the EPA website at:

As this article looks forward towards the new Administration, I would like Ms. Jackson to know how important those of us who live around the Chesapeake Bay think it is to get urgent action on this very important body of water that impacts on the lives of people in Virginia, Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia.

Washington, D.C. is at the very center of the Chesapeake watershed. The Potomac and Anacostia rivers are tidal sub-estuaries of the Chesapeake. This is the Nation’s Bay, and its condition is a national disgrace. EPA and its federal partners can be instrumental in launching real improvement if they seize the opportunity and demonstrate leadership.

There is no better place to show that the Obama Administration is serious about clean air and clean water. More than ninety percent of the Bay and tidal tributary rivers that feed it are officially designated as impaired under the Clean Water Act. EPA must institute a strict pollution reduction budget with penalties for non-compliance immediately. In fact, the Clean Water Act requires it.

More information on proposals to help clean up the bay, can be gotten from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
