The Chesapeake Bay Executive Order required federal agencies
to develop a series of seven reports on recommendations for addressing key
challenges facing the Bay and its watershed. The draft reports were released to
the public on September 10, 2009. The draft reports were then reviewed by the
Federal Leadership Committee (FLC) for the Chesapeake Bay,
in consultation with relevant state agencies. The reports were revised to
reflect consideration of the comments received during state consultation and
preliminary public input. The revised reports were released on November 24 and are available below.
After the public comment period ends on January 8, 2010, the
federal agencies will review public comments on the draft strategy and revised
reports. The comments will be taken into consideration as the FLC develops the
final strategy. However, the committee
does not anticipate revising the reports based upon public comments received. The
FLC plans to use comments received on the reports to help inform the
development of the final strategy.
