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 watershed 

implementation 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?

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. 

What Are the Next Steps in the Process 

for Collecting Public Comment? 

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.
