As a member of the BASS Federation of America, Virgina Chapter, I apose anything that weakens water quality in the already over nutrified Shennandoah and Potomac Basin.  To speak clearly, this plan craps on the Potomac River and Shenandoah.  Are you aware the Potomac has hosted  hundreds professional bass fishing tournaments and generates millions of dollars annualy in recreation related sales taxes?

Thousands of people travel from out of state each year to fish these rivers, shopping in our malls and staying in our hotels.  A 10th grader could add up these economic benefits better than Governor McDonald's "Environmental team".  As a fisherman concerned with the economy, I am embarrased by the Govornors stance on fighting the EPA's modest goals to clean up our rivers and the bay.  I certainly apose spreading sewage sludge anywhere near floodplains.

Our recreational resources have tremendous economic development potential if managed intelligently. Sales tax receipts, clean recreational tourism, a cleaner river.  This is a virtuous circle that should be our guiding principle in matters that effect our rivers, our state treasures.
