Explanation
(This amendment restores funding each year for dues to participate in the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin. As a non-regulatory agency, the commission promotes ways to stop stream pollution and conserve and wisely use water and associated land resources in the basin through regional and interstate cooperation. The ICPRB Section for Cooperative Water Supply Operations on the Potomac River (CO-OP) provides technical and managerial services to coordinate drought-related operations of the major public water supply utilities of Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia in the Washington Metropolitan Area, and participates in planning to ensure adequate water supplies into the future.)
