CSR Hydro Conduit plant gains conditional planning approval
The CSR Hydro Conduit cement pipe plant on Gas House Pike wins conditional approval from Frederick City Planning Commission. The main condition requires CSR to fund design and construction of a Monocacy River bridge, with repayment by the city and county. The plan includes road extensions to handle about 140 heavy truck trips daily, potential temporary street use, and environmental safeguards with monitoring devices and a proposed 20,000 per year pollution-mitigation fund. An advisory group will meet to address concerns, though enforcement teeth are considered insufficient.
