Description

In essence this book deals with an area that contributes significantly to the pollution and degradation of Chesapeake Bay, but has been completely overpassed in some of the efforts to restore the Bay, specifically, the federal military pollution sources. The book also recognizes for the first time, that efforts to restore the Bay have failed as a result of violation of a fundamental precept of environmental cleanup; that may be, to sample the web page and see what is there. The Bay itself has never been sampled.

Thus this book presents a view of the environmental condition of Chesapeake Bay that may be totally unique. It covers part of the history of the Bay that may be not widely known, including how the Bay was once formed. It presents a mix of science, military history, and novel solutions to the Bay’s degradation.

In so doing, the writer examines the military use of the Bay and reveals the extent of munitions dumpsites containing nitrogen and phosphorus in addition to chemical warfare material, and how this is effecting the environment. The book concludes with the writer’s own clean-up plan that, if implemented, would go a long way to restoring health to Bay.

The book is supplemented with many photographs and maps.
