The nation’s water is in jeopardy to 10,000 miles of Maryland streams affected by the polluting industries that carved loopholes in the Clean Water Act.1 "Save the Bay"…

The pollutants leak into the land, enter the water systems, and air at nearby sites. I believe we can do better for our environment. The Chesapeake Bay is the third largest…
