The commission was a signatory to the Chesapeake Bay Agreement of 1983, which was also signed by the governors of Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania; the Mayor of the District of Columbia; and the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).[2]
As of 2019, the chairman of the commission is Frank Wagner, State Senator of Virginia.[3]
