U.S. EPA Chesapeake Bay Program Office June 1, 2012 Ensuring Progress: Oversight of Watershed Implementation Plans and 2-Year Milestones U.S. EPA Chesapeake Bay Program Office June 1, 2012

Chesapeake Bay TMDL Based on 7 Watershed Implementation Plans

Taking It to the Streets: Phase II WIPs Increase awareness Modify strategies for greater benefits to communities Opportunity to strengthen long-term strategies

Two-Year Milestones EPA Will Assess if Milestone Reductions on Schedule Interim Target: 60% by 2017 Assumes Upfront Program-Building and Future Reductions Assumes Constant Reduction Over Time Assumes Upfront Low-Hanging Fruit and More Difficult Future Reductions

Select Highlights Delaware: Commitment to address CAFO permit backlog. Stormwater: provided information on compliance monitoring and new regulations. District of Columbia: Significant engagement with federal agencies Maryland: Recent legislation to increase funding for POTWs, stormwater, and septic systems. Schedule to reissue MS4 permits with provisions to implement WIP strategies.

Select Highlights Pennsylvania: Increasing compliance with existing agricultural programs. Guidance and training on Chesapeake Bay Pollutant Reduction Plans. Virginia: Detailed strategy for Resource Management Program. Commitment to finalize agreement in response to stormwater assessment. West Virginia: Agricultural strategies based on farmer feedback. Schedule for reissuing Construction General Permit.

EPA Oversight of WIPs EPA will monitor progress in all states and source sectors. (ongoing oversight) · Some sectors will require closer monitoring by EPA (enhanced oversight): o PA and WV agriculture strategies o PA trading programo VA stormwater program o The WIPs do not fully explain how these strategies will meet pollution reduction goals. PA’s stormwater program will require detailed scrutiny (backstop action) to address shortcomings, and EPA is prepared to take steps to ensure progress continues in this sector.

Shifting Focus from Planning to Implementation Turning plans into on the ground actions All practices in place by 2025 60% by 2017 Near term actions to support long-term success

Overseeing Progress Interim and final reports to Executive Council on milestone progress Quarterly oversight discussions Goals: No surprises Work together to address issues early

Informing Ongoing EPA Activities Aligning grant work plans with WIP and milestone priorities Transparent tracking tools Permit reviews Program assessments

So We Can Have Less of This…

And More of This…
