Subject: Take Action to Protect the Bay's Critical Areas
Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2005 00:26:21 +0000

Proposed New Policy Could Weaken Critical Area
Take action before July 25, 2005 deadline
Maryland's Critical Area Commission has drafted a new policy to allow
golf courses to be built in the part of the critical area designated
for resource conservation. The draft policy needs strengthening,
and your comments can help ensure that.
http://www.cbf.org/site/R?i=GSZvG5FW42y1gFG5KTk0kQ..
The critical area extends 1,000' landward from mean high tide on
the lands along the Chesapeake and Atlantic coastal bays and their
tidal tributaries. Critical area regulations restrict development to
protect water quality and shoreline habitats. This is the buffer that
acts as a filter, keeping pollution from entering the Bay. Rules
allowing building in the critical area need to be strong.
Enclosed is a letter that can be automatically faxed to the commission
or your can edit it to add your own thoughts. Please help ensure that
the new rules help protect the resource by sending in your comments
today.
