EPA cites ongoing pollution despite Clean Water Act spending
EPA officials say more than 800 plants nationwide including 26 in Maryland dump toxins into waterways, risking fish and human health. The Frederick County Landfill on Reichs Ford Road is blamed for polluting Bush Creek. Maryland facilities such as Salisbury, Chalk Point, Bethlehem Steel, and GM discharge heavy metals and cyanide into rivers and harbor, prompting state plans to reduce discharges by February 1993 with penalties for noncompliance.
