Shuyler, a leader in the field of agricultural engineering, will retire this fall from the U.S. Envir onmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program Office. Shuyler’s 30 years of national and international experi ence includes: • Coordinated the nonpoint source program for the Chesa peake Bay basin. This program is aimed at reducing pollution carried to the Bay through ground water and stormwater runoff. It is con sidered a national model; Annapo lis, Maryland, 1985-1995. • Managed the EPA’s national research program for controlling pollution from animal production facilities; Ada, Oklahoma, 1971-1985.

The American Angus Associa tion has more than 29,000 active adult and junior members. etire • Provided irrigation solutions for Kansas farmers through the Kansas cooperative Extension Ser vice; University of Kansas, Man hattan, Kansas; 1965-1971. • Guided management tech niques for animal waste in Europe and Asia; 1971-1985. “Looking back on my years with the Bay Program, I am really pleased to see us as far along as we are now,” said Shuyler. “Ten years ago I really questioned whether we could make enough difference in 10 years to see results in the Bay's plants and animals and water qual ity, but we’re beginning to see that today. We’ve got a long way to go, but we’ve come a long way from where we started.” Shuyler joined the Chesapeake Bay Prog ram in 1985, two years after the multi governmental partner ship was formed to lead the restoration of the Bay. The Chesapeake Bay Program deter mined that an overabun dance of the nutrients nitrogen and phosphor us was a major factor in the Bay’s decline. “The major challenge I saw in coming to the Chesapeake Bay Prog ram was the need for people living in the Bay basin to feel ownership of the Bay’s problems and participate in plan ning solutions,” said Shuyler. His back ground with the Kansas Cooperative Extension Service gave him a strong understanding of the need for cooperation and communication on many levels. As the Bay Program’s nonpoint source coordi nator, Shuyler has been at the hub of this effort, assisting with the deve lopment of the nonpoint source control programs in Maryland, Pennsyl vania, Virginia and the District of Columbia, and coordinating the needs of these programs with the 13 cooperating federal agencies in the Chesapeake Bay Basin. “We’ve seen a big move forward in foster ing a sense of ownership in the basin,” said Shuy ler. “One of the real ple asures of working with the Bay Program is the involvement of so many jurisdictions and organi zations it’s the free flow of ideas and infor mation that make the partnerships work. It’s been my job to find things that work well and provide the oppor tunity for others to see them and incorporate diem into their own programs.”
