MontCo compost facility employees urge continued operation
In Poolesville, workers at the Dickerson sludge composting site urged Montgomery County officials to keep the plant running citing 11 percent unemployment and impacts on upper county businesses. Residents pressed for closing as Calverton Site 2 opens, arguing odor, traffic, and water concerns while employees urged a better solution or transfer to the Calverton operation.
