Good News ! The EPA has reduced the annual limits of nitrogen and phosphorous that can be put in the Chesapeake Bay by the six watershed states. Virginia allocation was 53.4 million pounds of nitrogen and 5.4 million pounds of phosphorous, the second highest. I’m not sure how this will be accomplished or how each city and county gets their limits set but it will be interesting to follow the process.
