CPRC SETAC started in the year 1983. Like the national organization, CPRC SETAC is comprised of a mixture of members affiliated with government, industry, and academia. The regional constitution was
finalized and the chapter kicked-off with our first meeting in 1984, focused on acid precipitation. After a brief period of inactivity (1985-88), we revitalized in 1989 and re-kicked off with a 1990 chapter meeting to discuss issues and programs related to the Chesapeake Bay. Volume 1, Issue 1 of the newsletter came off the press in April 1991 with editor James Andreasen.
