Senate extends Maryland phosphate ban to cleanup goal
The Maryland House voted 129 to 3 to permanently extend the 1985 phosphate detergent ban, sending the measure to Governor Schaefer for signing. Backers cite pollution reductions and $4.4 million annual savings in sewage treatment, with advocates arguing non phosphate products clean better and DC and Virginia have followed Maryland’s lead.
