County won't alter tank rule in wellhead protection case
Frederick County Commissioners withdrew a plan to weaken the 500 foot wellhead protection rule for underground storage tanks near a water well after Maryland Department of the Environment said changes would conflict with policy. A proposed 200 foot rule would require double walls and full state compliance. Ewing Oil had sought a 400 foot tank near US 40A.
