DEP is now accepting registrations for the June 5 Chesapeake Bay Phase III Watershed Implementation Plan Kickoff and Listening Session to be held at the Radisson Hotel in Camp Hill, across the river from Harrisburg, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The purpose of this open public session is to gather ideas on how to meet the Chesapeake Bay cleanup milestone in each of these areas: urban and suburban stormwater, wastewater, agriculture, forestry, funding and local planning and area goals.

Also running concurrent with the June listening session will be a 30-day written comment period running with the Listening Session to give other people who could not attend in person to submit their suggestions.

The session is being hosted by the PA’s Chesapeake Bay Watershed Implementation Planning Steering Committee.
