In July 18 they pumped nearly 700000 gallons in 24 hours, with 700000 as the plant and reservoir cap.

Frederick panel weighs legal advice on truck stop zoning
Frederick County Planning Commission seeks legal guidance before acting on a proposed zoning text amendment that could block Cardon Oil Co. from building a truck stop near New Market.
