TIM HOLDEN: “Efforts to improve Bay water quality, however, should not impede on the livelihood of our family farmers.”

The increase in regulatory action by EPA makes targeted conservation funding even more essential.

The health of the Chesapeake Bay and those bodies of water contained in the Bay watershed... deserves our full attention.

I am alarmed at the potential economic impact this will have on states and municipalities in the watershed.

I have serious concerns about the TMDL--both in terms of process and the likely impacts on our farms and communities.
