Fout's Folly: Pipes in Middle Creek Halt State Project
Two large pipes laid under Brandenburg Hollow Road in Middle Creek drew protests as downstream bulldozing altered the channel from a habitat rich bed to a flat streambed. Fill material and a diversion dam wash into the water, prompting the state to stop work on the project. Photos by Jim Gilford.

County Engineer criticized over Brandenburg Hollow Road project
The Frederick County case depicts Bill Foot and the County Engineer’s department driving two large steel pipes into Middle Creek under Brandenburg Hollow Road without a waterway permit. A dirt dam diverted the stream, widening erosion, silting, and destroying stream life while heavy equipment operated in the bed. The Water Resource Administration halted work, demanded restoration plans by November 15, and later pursued legal action after the county failed to respond.
