Anti-Pollution Hearings Highlight Maryland Water Woes
In Annapolis the Senate Economic Affairs Committee heard clean water bills amid concerns of ongoing pollution. Senators Hall and Bailey faulted the Health Department, pressing to move anti pollution authority to the Department of Natural Resources. Officials urged coordination through the new Environmental Council and supported banning waste imports, including a plan to bury sludge in Caroline County that could draw $500,000 in local incentives.
