Something Stinks! Enforcement for Clean Water for Maryland
Wednesday, April 25, 12:00 - 1:30 PM
What does it take for Maryland's wastewater treatment plants to comply with their permits or to compensate City homeowners whose basements have been contaminated with sewage back-ups?  A recent report from the Environmental Integrity Project (EIP) documents that Maryland sewage treatment plants often violate their permits.  A state proposed system of trading pollution credits might make matters worse.  Blue Water Baltimore (BWB) was a third party intervenor in negotiations over a new Consent Decree between Baltimore City and the US EPA that took over a year to hammer out. Tom Pelton of EIP and Angela Haren of BWB will be our speakers addressing these and related questions.
