The 1987 Chesapeake Bay Agreement set a goal to reduce nitrogen and phosphorous nutrients entrance into the Bay by 40% by year 2000. In 1992's Amendments to the Chesapeake Bay Agreement, partners agreed to maintain the 40% goal beyond the year 2000 and to attack nutrients at their source -- upstream in the tributaries.
