Identify two likely non-point source pollutants of the Chesapeake Bay. Describe two human activities that have impacted the health of the Chesapeake Bay. Lead is a common endocrine disruptor found in wastewater. Water that flows over lead-contaminated soil often finds its way into bay waters. Describe the effects an endocrine disruptor could have on human populations surrounding the Chesapeake Bay. Explain the environmental effects excessive pollution has had on the Chesapeake Bay. The Clean Water Act and subsequent legislation mandated that industries stop dumping wastes directly into bodies of water by building sewage treatment facilities to clean sewage water before it is discharged into lakes, rivers, and oceans. An average wastewater reclamation plant treats 50 million gallons a day. Calculate the amount of pollution-free water it could release into the Chesapeake Bay in a year.
