Water quality degradation as a result of agricultural run-off
 

My residence at 10352 Church Neck Rd., Machipongo, VA 23405, is surrounded by farm fields of 500+ acres and woods of 70 acres. The ditches cut through and surround the fields and define the woods areas. Rain water runs off the farm fields and into the ditches that feed into Westerhouse Creek and the Chesapeake Bay. The surface of the water is covered with thick algae from nutrient pollution. Please consider this in your deliberations about improving water quality.
