Landfill inspection bill rejected by Maryland House panel
The House Environmental Committee rejected a Littrell bill mandating strict annual landfill inspections by the Department of the Environment. The panel instead urged voluntary disclosure of landfill testing results to legislators, noting the department already tests older sites and citing ongoing concerns over groundwater pollution from a 20 year old Frederick County landfill. Del Arnick emphasized informing lawmakers of findings and urged action by the department.
