Clean-up Funds Coming
Virginia is trying to dean up Chesapeake Bay, and the state needs the help of Rappahannock and Culpeper County residents, according to Lue A. Walters of the Soil Conservation Service in Culpeper.
The two counties contribute thousands of tons of pollutants daily to the Bay from the runoff of agricultural fertilizers, chemicals, detergents and animal and human wastes.
The state now is working to develop a multi-million dollar cost-share program aimed at non-point sources of pollution—pollutants that are not discharged by pipes, Walters reports.
Money to help with the clean-up will be available to local residents July 1. For more information, call 825-8691.
