As the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency develops recommendations for reducing pollution and improving water quality in the Chesapeake Bay, officials are holding listening sessions for stakeholder groups. Because local governments have such an important role to play in restoration and protection of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed, EPA will be meeting on August 20 in Arlington, Virginia, with representatives of local governments to discuss the Executive Order and ideas for reducing pollution.

The session is open to the public and will be held from 10am-12pm at the EPA Potomac Yard building in the 1st Floor Conference Room. The address is 2777 Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA 22202
