Another setback for a set of new stormwater regulations and the Chesapeake Bay

As reported in the Virginia Pilot on Wednesday January 20, 2010 the Virginia Board of Soil and Water Conservation has voted to put on hold the the new regulations that would improve the health of the Chesapeake Bay that then Governor Kaine had signed off on just prior to leaving office. Last weeks action will require the regulations to undergo another round of public comments prior to any approval by Governor McDonnell.

This is my first attempt to write a post on my blog.

The emphasis of my blog is, as the title suggest, ‘Dedication to Clean Water Practices’. This means I hope to help people in our local area understand the serious need to use environmentally safe practices during their daily routines and particularly in what and how their interact with their outside surroundings.

I am not a scientist or an expert but a concerned citizen. There are so many great blogs that cover all related subject matter on the environment, conservation, clean water practices, etc. that I will attempt to write about our local area and the problems we can try to reduce.

I hope to study the internet and collect ideas from people around the country that we might be able to introduce locally.  

Look for my upcoming post, in which I will introduce the discussion of watersheds and what their means to us.
