Baystate Restoration Fund
The Bay Restoration Fund was established by Senate Bill 320 (Bay Restoration Fund) and signed into law on May 26, 2004. According to studies, the Chesapeake Bay has
experienced a decline in water quality due to over-enrichment of nutrients (mainly phosphorus and nitrogen). Effluent from wastewater treatment plants, residential on-site (septic) disposal systems (OSDS), and agricultural practices are the top three major contributors of nutrients entering the Bay.
