The impact of fertilizers and animal waste run-off into the tributaries running into the Chesapeake Bay from Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, D.C., and Pennsylvania present a contant battle to the health of the bay.What I found interesting that in spite of all the state and local agencies at work, a little known, but very important group of people also work on pollution: The RiverKeepers

Most government buildings are between 30 and 50 years old with unrecorded adaptions, electrical and
