Rep. Robert C. “Bobby” Scott, D-Newport News, wants the military to do more to address flooding and the pollution that stormwater runoff brings to Chesapeake Bay.
A recent report released by "The Environmental Working Group" claims at least nine military facilities around the Chesapeake Bay are responsible for contaminants that are impacting water and wildlife, and possibly even making people sick.
The Environmental Working Group said the biggest risk is that the chemicals might have flowed out of the groundwater at military sites in Maryland and Virginia and into the bay.
