Wednesday, Nov 2, 2011 @ 1:00 PM

APA’s Regional and Intergovernmental Planning Division will host a free webinar on the Chesapeake Bay Restoration Program. The speakers will be: John Carlock, Deputy Director of the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission; Jeffrey Corbin; Special Assistant to the EPA Administrator for the Chesapeake Bay and Anacostia River; and, Anthony Moore, Assistant Secretary of the Virginia Department of Natural Resources for Chesapeake Bay Restoration.

CM 1.5 Credits available for this webinar.

The Chesapeake Bay Restoration program has been underway since the mid-1980’s. A recent consent order directed the EPA to take a stronger role. Initially, the states submitted their general strategies in the latter part of 2010 and early 2011 to implement the EPA directed program. Now the states are working with local and regional agencies in developing implementation steps. The Division’s first webinar on this subject was in late May. It generally concentrated on State of Maryland actions. The upcoming webinar will concentrate on State of Virginia actions.

The first hour will be given over to presentations by the panelists. The last half hour will be given over to audience questions.

This webinar is being put on through the Ohio State University City and Regional Planning Department webinar service.
