The Chesapeake Bay Foundation has filed a lawsuit against the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regarding the DEP’s issuance of erosion and sediment control permits.

The lawsuit follows the release of draft reports on creating a long-term plan for better environmental management of the bay.
