NACD In Action

Chuck Fox, Senior Advisor to the Administrator at the Environmental Protection Agency

This week NACD hosted a Chesapeake Bay Leadership Meeting for conservation district supervisors and representatives of state associations, state departments of agriculture, conservation commissions and NRCS from the six Chesapeake Bay States. Chuck Fox, Senior Advisor to the Administrator at the Environmental Protection Agency, discussed EPA’s leadership role in preparing a draft strategy to restore and protect the Bay. The draft strategy—expected to be released Nov. 9—will impact conservation districts throughout the Bay watershed as it addresses water quality issues related to agriculture, stormwater, and development. The group also heard from Larry Elworth, EPA’s Agricultural Advisor to the Administrator, and Dana York, Senior Advisor for NRCS regarding the Chesapeake Bay Program.
