Charles County, Md.
A partially completed residential development borders forested land in Waldorf, Md., on Aug. 24, 2018. Between 1982 and 1997, the Chesapeake Bay watershed lost more than 750,000 acres of forestland to development—a rate of about 100 acres per day. While this rate fell in 2006 to an estimated 70 acres per day, it remains unsustainable. Increased development has made stormwater runoff the fastest growing source of pollution to the Bay.
