Chesapeake Bay

Chesapeake Bay officials elected Pa. Gov. Josh Shapiro to lead a regional agreement to help clean and restore the waterway. The first-term Democrat will take the reins at a tumultuous time for the 40-year-old partnership.

The Lackawanna River Basin Authority says mandates are not in place yet but they're preparing to have to monitor the amount of 'forever chemicals' in the wastewater that they treat.

Protecting the Chesapeake Bay starts in small streams in Pennsylvania. Just over 2.2 miles of those streams are no longer considered impaired. Representatives from the state and Northcentral Pa. celebrated that milestone near a babbling Turtle Creek at the Griffin Farm in Union County.
