"The Chesapeake Clean Water and Ecosystem Restoration Act of 2009" (S. 1816/H.R. 3852): Legislation to amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to reauthorize the Chesapeake Bay Program and require the Environmental Protection Agency to establish a Chesapeake Bay protection program, and other purposes. Of interest to the organization are the potential implications of the bill if similar actions are taken in other watersheds across the United States. "America Great Outdoors Act" (S. 303): Omnibus legislation containing over 100 separate public lands, water and wildlife bills. Contained in the bill is the "Chesapeake Clean Water and Ecosystem Restoration Act" opposed by our organization. National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for Ozone and Coarse Particulate Matter (PM): In recent years the organization has commented on proposed changes in the NAAQS for ozone and coarse PM. EPA is expected to announce decisions on both regulations in the months ahead. Reducing the standards for ozone and coarse PM will affect rural counties, and farming and ranching operations in those counties.
