EPA's New Bay Cleanup Plan Called Too Weak

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation and several other environmental organizations criticized EPA's new Bay cleanup proposal as too weak and vague during a press conference yesterday.

CBF Senior Scientist Beth McGee said that a letter EPA released on Monday proposing consequences for states that fail to meet their cleanup obligations "lacks specifics about when EPA will impose those consequences. The letter lacks concrete standards that will ensure when EPA will act."
