2010 Annual Report
water is fundamental
Over the years, Clean Water Fund’s programs have grown to encompass a wide range of environmental and health concerns. But all of these issues and all of our work connect to clean, safe and affordable water. This remains the fundamental core of our work.
Our issues have never been more important than they are today. They cut across the entire spectrum of environmental concerns.
Sub-Watershed Strategies
Clean Water Fund is pioneering community engagement in communities that have been under-represented and underserved for environmental health initiatives. By working with communities to relate priority issues such as education, jobs and crime to improved water quality, Clean Water Fund is working to make sure that communities are empowered and lead the effort to restore local waters and their communities. Focused efforts include tributaries of the Patapsco River in South Baltimore and the Anacostia River in Prince George's and Montgomery Counties.
Environmental Justice in Mayland
Clean Water Fund is working on a series of policy initiatives and creating outreach to communities who suffer from a disproportionate share of the environmental health impacts of industrial and residential zoning that subject residents to neighboring polluting facilities. Clean Water Fund is continuing to promote replacements for incinerators, requiring best available technologies on pollution permits, and seeking a more thorough review of health impacts on communities by industrial facilities.
Chesapeake and Coastal Bay Restoration and Protection
Maryland has made the strongest commitment of all the Watershed Implementation Plans required by President Barack Obama's Executive Order on the Chesapeake Bay, but accomplishing the implementation will require a number of policy initiatives. CWF is working to reduce septics and wastewater treatment plant pollution, reducing sprawl and revitalizing existing communities, and revamping water management to reduce the pollution from streets and parking lots, and to better manage water resources.
