BALTIMORE, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- A U.S. environmental group says federal requirements for a Chesapeake Bay cleanup will create hundreds of thousands of jobs in construction and monitoring.
Spending on sewage and storm-water treatment necessary to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requirements to reduce pollution in the bay could support about 230,000 jobs in the region over the next 14 years, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation report released Tuesday said.
