Additional funding has been granted by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to the CSPDC and 14 other Bay PDCs to continue the Phase III Watershed Implementation Plan efforts in 2020. The CSPDC will continue to provide technical and administrative assistance to local governments and stakeholders as they discuss and determine how to implement watershed best management practices to help ensure pollution control measures needed to fully restore the Bay are in place no later than 2025. The DEQ and CSPDC have worked together to develop a scope of work to guide the initiative’s efforts through 2020.
