Flood Contaminated Liquor Compacted At Frederick County Landfill
About 20 years ago more than twelve thousand five hundred dollars worth of flood contaminated liquor was smashed into mud at the Frederick County landfill after Tropical Storm Agnes flooded Donegan's Liquor Store on East Patrick Street. County officials note bottles were mud covered though contents’ contamination was uncertain. A state tax official prepared an inventory to reimburse the store owner for taxes. Union Bridge remained closed to Frederick because of a damaged Little Pipe Creek bridge on Md 75, hampering business and causing heavier traffic on Carroll County roads to the Lehigh Cement plant.
