The Trump administration has taken significant steps to revoke a series of executive orders aimed at protecting and restoring the Chesapeake Bay. Notably, President Trump has repealed the 2009 Chesapeake Bay restoration plan, drawing criticism from various Maryland officials and environmental groups. The new executive order has raised concerns about the federal approach to Chesapeake Bay policy, particularly regarding stormwater management fees, as local authorities, such as the Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority, assure that existing fees will remain despite the federal changes. Critics argue that this shift may undermine environmental protections and shift responsibility to the states, complicating efforts to maintain water quality in the region.
