Frederick County Planning Commission examined a $142 million wastewater system study by Boyle Engineering covering the next 25 years. Ballenger Creek regional plant dominates costs and a second Ballenger Creek facility is expected around 2005. The report supports regional treatment strategy with city and county facilities and notes upgrades needed for Fountaindale Middletown Jefferson and Point of Rocks, plus growth plans for Monrovia and a future Singapore link. Population is projected to rise to 267,092 by 2020 from 170,424 now. The panel also approved a zoning rule requiring visible site plan notices 30 days before planning commission review to boost public participation.
