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.

Another minor setback for cleaner water.

House Bill 329 (The bill concerning usage of phosphorus containing fertilizers) will be carried over to the 2011 General Assembly session

It appears the bill did get the industry’s attention.
