Interim dam danger area plan outlined for Lake Merle Dam
The Lake Merle Dam plan due in Annapolis focuses on interim measures rather than a final construction plan. Six interim solutions include tree removal on the downstream slope, drainage control on both sides, repairing monitoring well caps with weekly checks, and completing an Emergency Action Plan by March 1. The plan, costing 1500 to 2500 dollars, aims to persuade WRA of progress while construction remains planned for this summer.

SABILLASVILLE The South Mountain Project funds a federal after-care program for juvenile offenders now housing a single juvenile. Project officials said the government provides 599000 dollars annually, most of which pays the after-care program, with salaries taking about 63 percent.

The nonprofit employs 10 full time staff and one part time worker, with 24 hour supervision. Staff also offer counseling to about 80 Victor Cullen inmates and plan two Baltimore community after-care centers.
