Plain-English summary
Chesapeake Bay Protection Act - Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to promulgate an amendment to the hazard ranking system under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 to require such system to be applied to areas under the Chesapeake Bay Program in the same manner as the system is applied to areas under the National Estuary Program. Requires such areas, at a minimum, to be considered environmentally sensitive and assigned the same rating value as areas under the estuary program.
