NEW YORK, June 3, 2019

SB 575 represents a bipartisan approach to meeting both Pennsylvania's local water quality targets, as well as their Chesapeake Bay mandates, by implementing the recommendation of the Pennsylvania Legislative Budget and Finance Committee's study which projected that a competitively bid nutrient procurement program could reduce Chesapeake Bay federal environmental compliance costs by up to 90 percent. Senator Gene Yaw, Chairman of the Senate Environmental Committee is the bill's primary sponsor. The co-sponsors include Senate leadership on both sides of the aisle.
