Maryland approves sweeping Pfiesteria bill to curb runoff
The Maryland General Assembly passed, and Gov. Parris Glendening is expected to sign, a landmark bill to combat the fish-killing microbe Pfiesteria piscicida. It tightens farm runoff limits, delays compliance dates to 2003 for nitrogen and mid 2005 for phosphorus, with penalties up to 2000 per year. Local delegates backed the measure though debates over oversight and impact on farmers persisted.
