Monocacy Basin Plan Adopted for Pollution Control Demo
The Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin adopted a plan to convert the 900 square mile Monocacy River Basin into a model area for abating industrial waste sewage and soil erosion. Covering Frederick Carroll counties in Maryland and Adams Franklin counties in Pennsylvania the plan aims to improve Washington DC water supply and save up to 50000 dollars yearly in filter plant costs with a three to five year completion window. Local groups and farmers are urged to participate in pollution cleanup and soil conservation efforts as part of the federally and state supported program.
