The Chesapeake Bay Foundation says three Eastern Shore counties have failed to file plans with the Maryland Department of the Environment to clean up the bay over the next two years.
Those were Caroline, Dorchester and Worcester Counties.
In addition, CBF and the Choose Clean Water Coalition noted that Dorchester had not submitted a milestone progress report.
Meanwhile, the environmental groups said that Wicomico County has secured $700-thousand in county and outside grants…to begin designing and installing clean-up measures.
In Talbot County local officials are working with CBF and other non-profits in a pilot program to use roadside ditches as pollution filters.
