Water quality history at Rotorex plant and legal outcome
From December 1988 through April 1998 Rotorex faced repeated contamination findings and filtration tests for TCE and TCA with initial reductions then severe post filtration readings. The company later switched to bottled water, faced fresh allegations of hiding data, and pleaded guilty in 1998 to providing misleading information with a $5,000 fine.
Rotorex Water Contamination Report Marks 1991 to 1996 Fallout
Rotorex workers recalled a shift from good water to high TCE levels in 1991, with well water rumors persisting into 1996. Union members, including Bill Maloy and Richard Freed, described water be it well or drinking supply tainted and unsafe. MDE learned of the contamination in 1996, after which Rotorex pled guilty in Frederick County District Court in April and paid a 5000 dollar fine.

Whittier project savings hinge on contingency planning
Whittier’s budget estimates were set years ahead as planners eyed a 1994 start for a 1998 opening. Officials note capital planning is predictive, with contingency funds crucial if bids exceed budgets. Savings arose from using Deer Crossing plans and shared contractors, trimming costs by about 500000.
