Maryland Environment Secretary Ben Grumbles on Sunday said the Maryland Environmental Service would temporarily take control of Baltimore City’s Back River Wastewater Treatment Plant, the site of ongoing illegal discharges into the river.
Grumbles said the city had failed to comply with a previous state order to immediately end illegal discharges of water pollution into the river.
Grumbles’ directive tasks the Maryland Environmental Service with overseeing the operation, maintenance and improvements of the plant, to ensure that the city operates in compliance with all terms of its discharge permit and cease all illegal discharges from the plant.
Publishers Notes: Will Salisbury be next? I don’t care what the Mayor tells you, their system still does not work. Nor will any of the local media report on it. It’s election time folks, push these candidates for answers and do NOT fall for the lies spewed by this Mayor.
Maryland tax payer pays all but three Baltimore agencies now and has been for years. SO what is the big deal?
Cut all loans and tax dollars going to Baltimore and make them pay their own bills. They are not a Maryland STATE agency. So why are they classified as STAE employees and get STATE benefits?
Where is Baltimore doing with the money besides giving it to these corrupt politians who deserve nothing?
Maryland prob needs to consider taking over more than the waste water plant in B-more.
There is nothing Charmed about Baltimore anymore.
well since the city is a complete sever maybe the state should flush it down the chesapeake bay!
