Explanation

(This amendment provides $3.75 million GF the second year to clean the Elizabeth River. This is a "shovel-ready" project with the Army Corps of Engineers to resolve one of the most contaminated sites on the Chesapeake Bay. The federal government has committed $11.25 million to the project.)
