The latest DEP Chesapeake Bay Healthy Waters newsletter highlights significant updates, including the recognition of Robert Hughes and John Dawes by the Choose Clean Water Coalition. PennVEST has approved nearly $100 million for drinking water and wastewater projects in Pennsylvania’s Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Additionally, 100,000 live stakes have been planted to restore local streams, and 21 grants have been awarded for native plant projects. Franklin & Marshall College also produced a video on stream restoration efforts in Lancaster County. More opportunities for agricultural conservation funding and erosion control training are available, and local watershed restoration projects weathered recent storms. The newsletter provides resources for assessing stream cleanliness and updates on other environmental initiatives.
