We need to do a better job of controlling the pollutants that enter the Bay.

And we would put into this reauthorization the fairness as to how the moneys are going to be used.

The Clean Water Act set the objective--restore and maintain the chemical and physical and biological integrity of the Nation's waters.

We do have some concrete streams still remaining and there is some work being done to try to correct that.

This is a process in evolution. We hope that, shortly, we are going to be able to circulate a reauthorization bill for comment.

I want to talk about one additional tool that we are looking into, and that is a nutrient trading program to provide ways in which you can reach the levels by basically underwriting the costs of nutrient reductions in other segments.

I have run a farm, I have owned a farm, I know about farming.

I think that point is very well made, and on enforcement we would have to include non-point sources.

I am not very big on voluntary programs in many ways.

We are set to finish approximately 90 to 95 percent of our reductions under the TMDL by 2014.

It was enforceable?

We are in danger of not getting that bill moving forward, and we could use all of your help in talking to your Senators.

I can assure you that we share your concern about preserving farmland and open space.

We will not succeed unless there is a Federal effort, which there has been, but I encourage it an even greater level, for Blue Plains.

I have to ask you to summarize so that we have time for questions.

The Chesapeake Bay is also in trouble.

It is a challenge in the Chesapeake Bay how we get a handle on non-point sources.

I think Director Hawkins raises a very valid point about having uniform standards of expectation using best science so that deals with the non-point sources.
