A federal strategy for restoring the Chesapeake Bay is expected to be released by the Environmental Protection Agency Thursday.
The strategy was mandated under an executive order issued earlier this year by President Obama, who put the federal government in charge of efforts previously led by bay states.
Since the announcement, bay advocates have urged strong federal action to clean the nation's largest estuary.
Chuck Fox, senior EPA adviser on the Chesapeake Bay, has said while agriculture still accounts for much of bay pollution, the strategy, to be released Thursday, would contain bold ideas and was likely to include stringent new standards for urban and suburban areas.
