Maryland’s Departments of Healthand Mental Hygiene (DHMH) and theEnvironment (MDE) are reminding con-sumers of the potential risk of eatinguncooked oysters, clams, mussels andother shellfish, particularly during thewarmer months of the year.

“We want everyone to enjoy freshseafood this summer, but we also wantpeople to be aware that eating rawshellfish can cause i l lness due toVibrio bacteria,” said DHMH SecretaryDr. Georges C. Benjamin. “Shellfishshould be cooked thoroughly to avoidhealth risks.”

Different kinds of Vibrio bacteria arefound naturally in coastal waters andare not a result of pollution. Vibrio bac-teria can be found in waters approvedfor oyster and clam harvesting. Dur-ing the warm weather months more ofthe bacteria can be found in shellfishand the risk to consumers is higher.

“Shellfish harvested from Marylandwaters have never been implicated ina Vibrio illness,” said Acting MDE Sec-retary Merrylin Zaw-Mon. “However,so far this year, two Marylanders havebecome ill after eating raw shellfishharvested out of state.”

One particular kind of Vibrio bacte-ria, Vibrio vulnificus, can cause seri-

Move coordinatorearns employeeof the year honorsBy Tracy Newman

The Maryland Department of the En-vironment (MDE) and its employeesnamed a Perry Hall resident as Em-ployee of the Year during a recent cer-emony at the agency’s Baltimore head-quarters.

Lorrie Del Pizzo, an 11-year employeewith state government, has spent thelast two years of her career organizingMDE’s relocation to the MontgomeryPark Business Center.

“Lorrie was nominated for her out-standing work as the relocation coor-dinator overseeing MDE’s move to theMontgomery Park Business Center. Fornearly two years, Lorrie has led the ef-forts to plan and execute the reloca-tion of an agency with more than 1,000employees,” said MDE Acting Secre-tary Merrylin Zaw-Mon.

“She has put in many long hours andtried to anticipate all aspects of themove.”

Del Pizzo joined MDE in 1991short ly after her graduation fromLoyola College in Baltimore with aBachelor of Science degree in engi-neering.

Although an engineer, MDE leader-ship considered Del Pizzo a natural forthe relocation project. Both require ex-ceptional attention to detail, leadershipand the ability to develop strong part-nerships and teams.

��� �������� �������� �������� �������� �����Drought conditions continue

to worsen in MarylandContinued dry weather throughout the

Mid-Atlantic region has worsened droughtconditions with record low rainfall andstream flows. During the summer droughtof 1999, rainfall deficits reached a low ofabout 8 ½ inches. The current rainfall defi-cit, which actually began its downwardtrend in July 2000, was at a low of 13 ½inches as of mid-August.

The Central Region of Maryland hasbeen the hardest hit and has been in adrought emergency status with mandatorywater restrictions since April. The Balti-more City water service area, which hadbeen maintaining a drought warning sta-tus, declared a drought emergency on Au-gust 10 and imposed mandatory water re-strictions.

Gov. Parris N. Glendening requested fed-eral disaster relief Aug. 13, for Maryland

farmers whose crops have been devastatedby drought and excessive heat during thegrowing season.

The governor and MDE continue to askall Marylanders to voluntarily conservewater, even if they do not live in one of theareas where mandatory restrictions havebeen imposed.

Ask

By Andrew GosdenThis column is focused on questions

concerning business environmental com-pliance issues. Since many questionsmay require more space than is availableto answer fully, these answers will oftenprovide contact information for moredetailed information. Please submit yourquestions to Maryland Department ofthe Environment, EPSC – Ask MDE, 1800Washington Boulevard, Baltimore, Md.21224. You can also e-mail your ques-tions to EPSC@mde.state.md.us withAsk MDE in the subject line. It is notnecessary to identify yourself or yourbusiness. Questions that are of generalinterest will be answered in this column.

Q. What environmental permits do Ineed to open a ready mix concrete plant?

A. A ready mix concrete plant will typi-cally need at least two types of permitsfrom MDE. All ready mix plants are re-quired to get an Air Quality Permit toConstruct for both the plant itself andfor any air pollution control equipmentthey have. You are required to get theAir Quality Permit to Construct (Permitto Construct) before you begin construc-tion of the source, in this case the readymix plant.

You need to submit two forms, theAMA-5 and the AMA-6, to apply for thePermit to Construct. The AMA-5 is usedto describe general facility informationand information about the source of thepollution.

The AMA-6 is used to describe thecontrol equipment. In addition to theapplication forms, you will also need tosubmit vendor literature and drawingsof the equipment, a site map and the meth-ods you will use to control fugitive dustemissions.

The Permit to Construct for a readymix plant does not require public partici-pation and is usually issued within a stan-dard turnaround time of three months.You can contact the Air Quality Permitsprogram at (800) 633-6101, extension 3225for more information

Ready mix plants also require a waterdischarge permit. MDE implements gen-eral discharge permit for mineral minesthat also covers the discharges fromready mix concrete plants.

This permit also covers the storm wa-ter permit requirements for a ready mixconcrete plant. This permit will allowyou to discharge water from mixer truckand equipment washing that does not

Maryland sets record with 16Code Red days this summer

The exceptionally warm weather hascaused 16 unhealthy air quality days in

Maryland as of Aug. 21.Daily ground-level ozone pollution lev-

els are collected by 17 monitors through-out Maryland around the clock.

The Maryland Department of the Envi-ronment (MDE) uses a color-coded fore-cast scale to inform the public of the ground-level ozone levels in the Baltimore andWashington metropolitan areas.

MDE also performs daily forecasts forozone, which is then transmitted to themedia and general public via fax and theAir Quality Hotline at (410) 537-3247. Whenunhealthy levels of ozone are forecastedor recorded, residents are urged to takeactions to reduce their exposure and con-tribution to ground-level ozone.

By Brad IarossiThe Maryland Department of the En-

vironment (MDE) recently issued a per-mit to allow the city of Baltimore to com-plete a major rehabilitation of the LochRaven Dam on the Gunpowder Falls inBaltimore County.

“The modifications will significantlyimprove the safety of the dam by increas-ing the spillway capacity to enable thedam to safely pass a ‘Probable MaximumFlood,’” said Virginia Kearney, deputydirector of MDE’s Water ManagementAdministration. “This design representsthe maximum amount of flow into theLoch Raven reservoir that is possible andwould be generated by approximately 31inches of rain over a 72-hour period.”

The project at Loch Raven Dam in-cludes raising the structure’s non over-flow sections, the addition of mass con-crete to the dam using “roller compactedconcrete” and the installation of rock an-chors in the dam. The constructionproject is expected to begin in Septem-ber and take three years to complete.

Since the dam is classified as a “highhazard” potential dam — meaning thatits failure would cause probable loss oflife and significant property damage —the inflow design storm is extremely con-servative and represents the most ex-treme loading conditions that the dammust be capable of withstanding.

There was a considerable amount ofpublic involvement related to the loca-tion of the contractor’s staging area andaccess routes to the dam during con-struction. Baltimore City and its consult-ant, Gannett Fleming, investigated manyalternatives for potential staging areasand routes to accommodate the needsfor the contractor to complete theproject.

The value of public involvement wasclearly demonstrated as a local citizens

group suggested sites thatnot only eliminated thefloodplain and nontidalwetland impacts but willalso save the city morethan $2 million in construc-tion costs.

Baltimore City, GannettFleming, along with the lo-cal citizens “task group”and the state senators anddelegates from districts 8and 9, should be con-gratulated, Kearney said.

“Under the leadershipof George Winfield, the Baltimore CityDepartment of Public Works has mademajor improvements to many of theirdams and has established an aggres-sive dam safety program,” she added.

ous illness or even death for peopleconsidered to be at high risk.

People at “high risk” include thosewith liver disease, excessive alcoholintake, diabetes, AIDS or HIV infec-tion, stomach disorders, inflammatorybowel disease, cancer, abnormal ironmetabolism, steroid dependency or anyillness or medical treatment which re-sults in a compromised immune sys-tem. Older adults are more likely tohave these heal th condi t ions andshould be aware of their health sta-tus.

It is recommended those that are ahigh risk not consume raw shellfish.

People who are not at high risk canalso become ill from Vibrio bacteria, al-though it is much less common. Thesebacteria can cause a gastrointestinali l lness in people who eat raw orundercooked oysters or clams, regard-less of age or health history.

Symptoms of illness from Vibrio bac-teria include vomiting, diarrhea, stom-ach pains , severe weakness , skinrashes, blisters, shaking chills andhigh fever. If you have any of thesesymptoms after consuming shellfish,see your health care provider for medi-cal treatment.

While it is rare, infection also canoccur when cuts, burns or sores areexposed to seawater containing Vibriobacteria.

Avoid exposing healing wounds tosaltwater when swimming or wadingby covering the wound with a water-tight wrap.

If you get a cut or wound while inthe water, clean the wound with soapand water or a disinfectant, such ashydrogen peroxide. If you notice signsof infection, such as redness or swell-ing, see your doctor.

Vibrio bacteria do not change the ap-

pearance, taste, or odor of oysters orclams. Eating raw oysters or clams withhot sauce or while drinking alcoholdoes not destroy the bacteria either.

Only thoroughly cooking the oys-ters or clams will destroy the bacteriaand eliminate the risk of infection.

For example, live oysters or clamsshould be boiled three to five minutesafter their shells open. Using a smallpot to boil or steam oysters is recom-mended for thorough cooking. Discardany oysters that do not open duringcooking. Shucked oysters or clamsshould be boiled or simmered at leastthree minutes or until the edges curl.They may also be fried in oil for threeminutes at 375 degrees, broiled threeinches from the heat for three minutesor baked in a 450 degree oven for 10minutes.

Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay watershave long been known for their plenti-ful shellfish.

To protect this valuable resource andsafeguard public health, MDE is re-sponsible for regulating shellfish har-vest ing waters . Shel l f ish includeclams, oysters, and mussels. The termshellfish does not include crabs, lob-sters, or shrimp.

Shellfish are filter-feeding animals:they strain the surrounding waterthrough their gills which trap andtransfer food particles to their diges-tive tract.

If the water is contaminated with dis-ease-causing bacteria, such as Vibrio,the bacteria are also trapped and canbe consumed as food.

More Vibrio and seafood safety in-formation can be obtained by callingthe U.S. Food & Drug Administrationhotline at 1-(800)- 332-4010 or onlinefrom the Interstate Shellfish SanitationConference at: www.issc.org.

Experts warn that those who eat shellfish such as clams, shown above, should be sure toproperly cook them to kill any bacteria that may be present.

By Magalie GelinThe Maryland Department of the En-

vironment (MDE) is finalizing plans withthe town of Easton to begin work reno-vating a former gas manufacturing plantinto the new local site of the state’s De-partment of Social Services .

For about 60 years, the Easton TownGas Plant, located at One South WestStreet, manufactured coal gas for heat-ing and lighting the town of Easton.While in operation until 1919, wastes fromthe gas manufacturing process contami-nated the soil and groundwater and lim-ited the property’s development poten-tial.

“A consortium of municipal, county,and state agencies saw this under uti-lized, highly accessible, downtown prop-erty as the ideal location for a new De-partment of Social Services facility,” saidMDE Acting Secretary Merrylin Zaw-Mon. “There was a strong interest onthe part of the state to locate the newfacility in a downtown location to sup-port Smart Growth.”

MDE’s Environmental Restoration andRedevelopment Team responded by con-ducting a state-funded environmentalproperty assessment using in-housetechnical staff and equipment and per-sonnel provided by an outside remedialservices contractor.

About 40 soil borings were drilledacross the property to assess the natureand extent of the site’s soil and ground-water contamination. Laboratory testingof soil samples collected from the boringsidentified the presence of coal gas manu-facturing waste products to a depth ofapproximately 20 feet on the site.

Low-level groundwater contamination

New state building to replaceformer Easton gas plant site

was also detected, but was deemed notto be a health concern due to its rela-tively low concentration. Further evalu-ation indicated a potential for health im-pacts for future occupants of the site ifthe soil contamination was not coveredor removed.

To address the potential health con-cerns, MDE commissioned a remedialservices contractor to design a soilremediation plan for the site. The plan isto be designed to be protective of hu-man health and the environment.

Development of this plan is underway.In its final form, the plan is expected toinclude provisions for razing all existingsite structures, removing near-surfacecontaminated soil from beneath the pro-posed building area and planned greenareas, installing contaminant free utilitytrenches, and creating impermeable con-tainment barriers.

In addition to developing an effectiveremedial design, architectural planningefforts are underway by others to createa functional and aesthetically pleasingbuilding layout for the site.

The town of Easton and MDE haveworked closely throughout this processto ensure that the building’s design doesnot interfere with or compromise effortsto mitigate the site’s environmental con-cerns, said Easton Mayor C. EugeneButler.

“This is a great example of MDE work-ing with local government in a practicaland economical way,” the mayor said.“Without MDE’s assistance, a projectlike this would be difficult, if not impos-sible for a small town like Easton to do.”

Construction on the new building isscheduled to begin by December.

By Dave MummertThe Maryland Department of the En-

vironment (MDE) recently submitted itsTitle V program package to the U.S. En-vironmental Protection Agency (EPA) toobtain full approval of the Part 70 operat-ing permit program.

Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act re-quires states to devise an operating per-mit program for major sources of air pol-lution. The Part 70 Permit Program isdesigned to combine in a single docu-ment all air quality requirements appli-cable to a company.

Maryland’s submittal includes revi-sions to regulations, legal opinions andcommitments by the Air and RadiationManagement Administration (ARMA)concerning the implementation of theprogram.

As of press time, EPA was expectedto publish the notice to approveMaryland’s program shortly..

Maryland currently implements a Part71 operating program under a delega-tion agreement with EPA. Sources sub-ject to Title V requirements that had notbeen issued a Part 70 permit as of Dec.1, 2001 were required to submit Part 71permit applications by May 31.

To date, ARMA has received 46 Part71 applications. ARMA’s goal is to is-sue a third of the Part 71 permits byDecember of this year.

In December 2001, Maryland lost itsinterim approval status of its Part 70 op-erating permit program because thestate was unable to correct certain defi-ciencies that EPA noted when grantinginterim approval.

The significant issue was a deficiencyin Maryland law regarding who has stand-ing to obtain judicial review of Title Vpermits. Maryland law was more restric-tive than federal law, particularly with re-spect to organizations and out-of-stateresidents.

During the 2002 Maryland General As-sembly, legislators passed two emer-gency bills, House Bill 5 and Senate Bill248 that expanded standing for Title Vpermits. Gov. Paris Glendening signedthe two identical bills into law May 16.

“ARMA is eagerly awaiting EPA’s ap-proval of Maryland’s Part 70 program andthe Air Quality Permits Program staff isactively preparing draft permits in the in-terim,” said ARMA Deputy Director

She ensured that all of the designfeatures and construction techniqueswere environmentally sound and fol-lowed ‘green building’ principles.

Del Pizzo also oversaw all aspectsof the build-out of the new officespaces, including carpeting, cubicledesigns, telephone assignments, com-puter locations, lighting, signage andparking.

“Lorrie has literally made hundredsof decisions that will ultimately affectevery employee as we move to Mont-gomery Park. Throughout, she man-aged to find a middle ground on whichall could agree,” said Allan Jensen,director of MDE’s Administrative andEmployee Services Administration.

“In addition, she made sure that allinformation and photos were postedon MDE’s intranet to keep staff up-dated, she organized employee toursof the new offices, and worked withMTA on locating bus routes — all sothat MDE employees would have anincreased level of comfort with the newfacility,” he said.

Although she has worked in almostall of the agency’s five administrationsduring her career, Del Pizzo claims shehas found some of her most rewardingwork coordinating the agency’s relo-cation.

“I was pretty lucky to see Montgom-ery Park go from being a warehouse towhat will be a thriving business cen-ter,” Del Pizzo said.

While Del Pizzo was told she hadbeen nominated for the Employee of

annual Maryland Envirothon, staff mem-ber spent their time training “Team Mary-land” for the 2002 Canon Envirothon, aninternational competition held at HampshireCollege in Amherst, Mass., from July 29 toAug. 4.

Maryland’s Envirothon Program, estab-lished by the Maryland Soil ConservationDistricts, is a year-long competitive, prob-lem-solving, natural resources event forhigh school students to educate themabout the environment.

Envirothon students are trained andtested in the natural resource areas ofaquatics, soils, forestry, wildlife and a newenvironmental issue that changes everyyear (known as the fifth issue). This year’sissue was Introduced Species and theirEffect on Biodiversity.

Team Maryland, from WashingtonCounty’s Clear Spring High School, repre-sented Maryland in this year’s CanonEnvirothon International Competition.

Though the team placed 14th overall outof 49 United States and Canadian Provincesthis year, Elmer Weibley, who worked withthe team, is as proud as if they had placedfirst.

“I was very happy with the team mem-bers. They represented Maryland verywell,” said Weibley, a Soil ConservationDistrict Manager of Washington County.“It’s very good considering the level ofcompetition among the participants.”

For four intense days in the beginningof the summer, (July 8-11), MDE,Smithsonian Environmental Research Cen-ter (SERC) scientists and the MarylandEnvirothon Committee’s instructors fromseveral agencies and a law firm worked withthe top three teams of high school studentswho represented their counties (Washing-ton, Harford and Allegany) during the statelevel event.

This year, Mark Herzog, education di-rector at the Harford Glen EnvironmentalEducation Center, hosted the MarylandEnvirothon state level event from June 20-22. The Washington County team – com-posed of Collin Calhoun, Larry Riggleman,Josh Fiedler, Dustin Reichard, Ryan Shankand alternate Courtney Robinson — com-peted with teams from 17 other counties inthe state and won the Maryland title.

But competition to determine the winnerof the state title was a close call, Weibleysaid.

“Our team won the state competition byone and a half points so at that level, thereis a lot of compeition,” he said. “Allegany,Queen Anne’s, Montgomery and St. Mary’scounty were ranked third, fourth and tiedfor fifth, respectively.”

The coaches for the winning team —Susan Lowery and Terrie Shank — werepresent to cheer and guide the Washing-ton County students.

The Clear Spring High School Wilderness Wanderers were the 2002 Maryland StateEnvirothon Champions who traveled to Massachusettes to complete in the nationalEnvirothon from July 29 to Aug. 4. Team members, shown from left to right, includecoach Susan Lowery, Collin Calhoun, Courtney Robinson, Larry Riggleman, ConservationDistrict Supervisor Donald Spickler, Josh Fiedler, Dustin Reichard, Ryan Shank andConservation District Manager Elmer Weibley.

Team, held three statewide Train-the-Trainer Days, developed training CDs aswell as generic county and state exams forthe fifth issue.

MDE’s supporting staff members thisyear were Lauren Gibson, Joe Herb, BillSchmidt, Herb Sachs, Tammy Phillips andTy Stinson.

Each Envirothon team, formed by fivestudents and an alternate in grades 9though 12, receives extensive training inthe five natural resource areas.

County Envirothons are held in thespring to determine a winning team for eachcounty. These winning county teams ad-vance to the state level, where their knowl-edge is challenged in a competition thatemphasizes hands-on involvement with theenvironment.

The state level competition lasts threedays and involves full group participationin tours, campfires, night hikes, and otheractivities in addition to training and test-ing. As part of their evaluation, each teamis given an environmental problem or situ-ation and is expected to create and presenta 10-minute oral presentation to a numberof judges.

Maryland’ s special training days for thetop three teams was hosted by RossSimmons, director of SERC, located inEdgewater.

SERC’s training team of scientists in-clude, Wayne Coats, Pat Megonigal, TomJordan, Bert Drake, Jess Parker, DennisWhigharn, Paul Fonofoff, Linda McCannand Mark Haddon, the center’s educationdirector.

These scientists spent one to two hourspresenting current information on their re-search relative to the current issue. The

teams spent some time canoeing in tidalwetlands, walking through forests, climb-ing meteorological towers and takingplankton samples from SERC’ s researchvessel out in the Chesapeake Bay.

Other intensive training was done in thecampus’ Reed Center classroom. The stu-dents give a 20-minute presentation on anenvironmental problem to the entire SERCstaff, training committee, and answeredquestions about certain natural resourceissues.

This training has also been developedto give the teams an opportunity to experi-ence professional opportunities in a vari-ety of disciplines. Students have hands-on opportunities to learn from world-classscientists and resource professionals.

The three days at SERC culminated witha visit to the State House to meet with CraigZinter and Craig Hartsock, MarylandEnvirothon co-chairs, and a three-hour din-ner cruise aboard the state yacht, Inde-pendence, with the teams’ chaperones,trainers and SERC scientists.

“The Maryland Department of the Envi-ronment congratulates our students at ev-ery level of the Envirothon,” said ActingMDE Secretary Merrylin Zaw-Mon.“They’re all winners! Not because ofcounty or state competition or even theirparticipation at the international level, butbecause they’re committed to our environ-ment. And they are winners because theycare enough to learn.”

By Jim WilkinsonThere is a growing concern by public

health officials both in Maryland and na-tionwide about increases in obesity and sed-entary lifestyles. People spend a great dealof time in their automobiles, not only duringcommutes to jobs, but for most shorts tripsas well.

“The opportunities to walk, or even bike,to complete an errand or get exercise havebeen diminished because of the ways inwhich communities are designed,” said Rob-ert Maddox of the Maryland Department ofthe Environment’s (MDE) Air and RadiationManagement Administration. “Examples ofpoor design decisions that prohibit walkingare enclaves of houses isolated by heavilytraveled roadways and communities withoutsidewalks or pathways that connect homesto stores, libraries and schools.”

To address these issues, the Governor’sOffice of Smart Growth sponsored an intro-ductory meeting in May to create a state-wide coalition that will implement a campaignto create safe environments for pedestriansin Maryland communities — called the SmartStep Forward Coalition. A variety of groupsinterested in health, smart growth, and pe-destrian issues attended. Attendees wereasked to develop proposals to make theircommunities more “pedestrian friendly” andless car-reliant.

The potential health benefits from creat-ing pedestrian friendly communities are evi-dent — weight loss, cardiovascular improve-ment, reduced stress and increased muscletone. Other benefits, however, are those tothe environment – reduced tailpipe emissionsand fuel consumption.

Representatives from several state agen-cies, including MDE, the Maryland Depart-ments of Planning, Transportation, Healthand Mental Hygiene and the Governor’s Of-fice of Smart Growth explained ways in whichstate agencies can encourage more walkingthrough strategies like grant incentives and“Smart Codes” to help overcome reluctanceof lending institutions to fund mixed usedevelopment. Other ideas included a sur-charge on automobile ads for bicycle andpedestrian promotion, building a constitu-ency for “walkable” neighborhoods, anddeveloping a Safe Routes to School program.

Kevin Murnane, a walking coordinator forNorth Arundel Hospital, Ron Looper, presi-dent of Maryland Volkssport Association,and Michael Flood, a citizen advocate forSafe Routes to School Program focused onthe importance of the exercise of walking inreducing cholesterol, lowering blood pres-sure and general physical fitness. Acitizenadvocate also spoke about the importanceof school design and location so that chil-

dren have an opportunity to walk to school.Other ideas to promote walking included

increasing awareness through education,building a walking constituency, a tie-inwith Clean Commute month, searching forfunding sources and addressing propertyowner concerns about liability for side-walks.

A steering committee is persuing threeobjectives: Conduct outreach to a varietyof audiences to encourage walking andhelp design more walkable communities;

develop a safe walking toolkit for localcommunities; and act as an advisory boardto review Maryland’s bicycle, pedestrianand Smart Growth plans. The advisoryboard will also promote the formation ofregional walking committees.

“Staff from MDE’s Air Quality PlanningProgram will follow the Smart Step ForwardCoalition’s activities because encouragingwalking and other ways of making short tripswithout driving will help lower vehicle emis-sions leading to cleaner air,” Maddox said.

By George Keller and Marya LevelevFor many years, Maryland and its local gov-

ernments have provided wastewater treatmentfacilities and collection systems to communi-ties throughout the state.

Since its inception in March 2001, Gov. ParrisGlendening’s Task Force on Upgrading Sewer-age Systems has worked to identify the costsof upgrading aging sewerage systems, of sepa-rating combined sewerage systems, and of in-stalling additional nutrient removal technologyat wastewater treatment plants.

“Today, 1.7 million households or 84 percentof the state’s population are served by commu-nity wastewater collection and treatment facili-ties,” said Virginia Kearney, deputy director ofthe Maryland Department of the Environment’s(MDE) Water Management Administration.“However, many of Maryland’s sewerage sys-tems have problems, such as combined seweroverflows (CSOs) or sanitary sewer overflows(SSOs). Overflows from these outdated sewer-age systems have discharged millions of gal-lons of raw or partially treated sewage into Mary-land waters, creating public health hazards aswell as impairing the vitality of the Bay.”

To meet the goals of the Chesapeake 2000Agreement, concentrations of nitrogen in theeffluent from the state’s largest wastewater treat-ment plants must be reduced. Biological Nutri-ent Removal (BNR), which has been the corner-stone of the Chesapeake Bay nutrient reduc-tion efforts for point sources since 1984, is acost-effective way to reduce the amount of ni-trogen and phosphorus in wastewater effluent.

Based on 1999 data, Maryland has reducednitrogen loads from wastewater treatment plantsto the Bay by 12.8 million pounds per year.

In addition to contributing excessive nutri-ents to the Chesapeake Bay, many wastewatersystems create serious environmental and pub-lic health impacts due to sewage overflows.Sewage overflows can cause fish kills; lead toclosure of water bodies to fishing and swim-ming; and contamination of drinking water sup-

$4.3B needed to upgrade sewerage systemsplies.

“Nearly all public sewerage systems in Mary-land have experienced sanitary sewer overflowsand eight areas in Maryland currently experi-ence CSOs,” said MDE Acting SecretaryMerrylin Zaw-Mon. “In 2000, local governmentsin Maryland reported a total of 52 million gal-lons of sanitary sewer overflows and a total of111 million gallons of combined sewer over-flows. MDE has issued consent orders for alleight CSOs and anticipates additional compli-ance actions for significant SSOs.”

The Executive Order establishing the taskforce recognized that local governments havelimited financial resources to support expen-sive sewerage system upgrades. Therefore, thegroup was also charged with the mission ofidentifying the methods by which the state,counties and municipal corporations may fundthe necessary sewerage upgrades.

The task force analyzed the EPA NationalNeeds Survey and the Maryland Departmentof Planning Infrastructure Needs Survey anddetermined that Maryland needs $4.3 billion toupgrade its sewerage systems. If this total costis spread over 20 years at an inflation rate of 3percent, the annual need is $289 million.

The task force also developed several keyrecommendations, including: increasing theWater Quality Revolving Loan Fund from $60million to $160 million; extending wastewaterloan terms from a maximum of 20 years to 30years; allowing loan forgiveness based on eco-nomic need; seeking a $20 million increase inthe federal funding used to capitalize the Re-volving Loan Fund; utilizing innovative financ-ing techniques; and creating an interagencycommittee to provide technical and financialmanagement assistance to local governments.

“Some of these recommendations will requirechanges to state and federal laws,” Kearneysaid. “The Maryland General Assembly is tak-ing note of what it needed for the state to besuccessful. Hopefully, we won’t have to waitlong to see the results.”
