In an effort to help clean up the Chesapeake Bay, the federal and state government have mandated that storm water improvements be made in surrounding counties, including Stafford. The cost of these improvements will fall in the range of about $30 million dollars, according to Steve Hubble, the Assistant Director of Public Works for Stafford County.
“The County is regulated as part of the Clean Water Act for our storm water discharges, and we have a permit from the state government. It required us to do some routine activities over the last ten years, to build up our program. We also have specific goals to clean up the Chesapeake Bay, and that’s part of a mandate that came down from the federal, through the state government. That’s what the 15-year plan is tied to,” Hubble said.
