**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Why Were These Documents Prepared?

Executive Order 13508, Chesapeake Bay Protection and Restoration, dated May 12, 2009 (74 FR 23099, May 15, 2009), requires the Administrator of EPA within 1 year and after consulting with the Committee and providing for public review and comment to publish this guidance document by May 12, 2010. The purpose of this document is to provide information and data on land management practices that, if implemented widely across the Chesapeake Bay watershed by both Federal land managers and non-Federal entities (and assuming that all necessary point source reductions are achieved and other needed restoration actions are taken), will enable the Chesapeake Bay to be restored. In significant part, this guidance is being developed to offer solutions for implementation to meet specific Chesapeake Bay goals. EPA, in conjunction with other agencies, is currently developing Bay-wide pollutant reduction goals that will ultimately be used to establish total maximum daily loads (TMDL) under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act for the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The TMDL will be followed by the development of watershedimplementation plans in 92 Bay subwatersheds that will have had load and wasteload allocations assigned based on the TMDL and the Chesapeake Bay model. While the Section 502 guidance document is required to be published by May 12, 2010, before the TMDL is finalized, we expect that the TMDL and sub-watershed allocations will clarify that the great majority of nonpoint sources in the Chesapeake Bay watershed will need to be controlled, and be controlled well, in order to restore the Bay. This guidance will have chapters addressing the following categories of activity: Agriculture; Urban areas, including Turf (excluding sources regulated as point sources); Onsite/ Decentralized Treatment Systems; Forestry; Riparian Areas; and Hydromodification. Each chapter will
contain one or more ‘‘ implementation goals ’’ that provide the framework for the chapter. These are intended to convey the essential actions that will need to be implemented in order to assure that the broad goals of the Chesapeake Bay Executive Order can be achieved. Each chapter also includes information on practices that can be used to achieve the goals; information on the effectiveness and costs of the practices; where relevant, cost savings or other economic/societal benefits (in addition to the pollutant reduction benefits) that derive from the implementation goals and/or practices; and copious references to other documents that provide additional information. Due to the expedited timeframe set by the Executive Order, the document is undergoing concurrent Federal Leadership Committee and public review, both as required by the Executive Order. Note that this public review is also concurrent with a technical peer review. EPA anticipates reviewing comments by these three entities in advance of the development of the final document.

Why Is EPA Posting This Guidance for Public Comment?

Executive Order 13508 requires the Administrator of the EPA to prepare and publish after providing for public review and comment, guidance for Federal land management in the Chesapeake Bay watershed describing proven, cost-effective tools and practices that reduce water pollution, including practices that are available for use by Federal agencies.

EPA will review public comments on the draft guidance. The comments will be taken into consideration as the EPA develops the final Section 502 guidance document. A response to comments document will be released at the same time as the final E.O. 13508 Section 502 guidance document with anticipated release by May 12, 2010. Dated: March 18, 2010. Peter S.
