TMDL Information

On Dec. 7, 2011, there was a community dialogue on Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) at the Eastern Shore Community College in Melfa. Virginia State Delegate Lynwood Lewis, whose district includes the Virginia Eastern Shore, facilitated and moderated the event, which was attended by a capacity crowd. An article about this event appeared in the Dec. 9, 2011 edition of The Eastern Shore Post and can be viewed here.
