Requests the Attorney General of Virginia to explore a challenge to the constitutionality of certain Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) regulations adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regarding the Chesapeake Bay. The resolution asserts that the TMDL regulations, which are binding upon Virginia localities releasing storm waters and treated waste waters into tributaries of the Bay, essentially constitute an unfunded mandate in violation of the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
