ANNAPOLIS -- Bob Ehrlich on Wednesday will discuss the importance of Maryland’s landmark Chesapeake Bay Restoration Act on the shores of the Back River in Essex, Maryland. Ehrlich authored the historic legislation, which the Chesapeake Bay Foundation called, “a huge victory for the Bay, the most significant environmental advance in Maryland in nearly 20 years.” Ehrlich will discuss the O’Malley Administration’s decision to drain the Bay Restoration Fund of $155 million that would have been used to reduce pollution flowing into the Bay from outdated wastewater treatment plants. The Back River is home to one of the largest wastewater treatment plants in the region, which is slated for sorely-needed upgrades thanks to the Bay Restoration Act. Bob Ehrlich will be joined by Back River advocates who have launched ambitious efforts to restore the river’s health.
