Governor to wade in Lake Bonnie in Goldsboro
ANNAPOLIS, MD - On Wednesday, Governor O'Malley will wade into a private lake closed to swimming due, in part, to failing septic systems to highlight the urgent need to curb septic system pollution.
Maryland has approximately 426,000 septic systems on developed parcels and roughly 411,000 of these are on residential parcels. Lake Bonnie, where high bacteria levels in the lake have been linked to failing septic systems, is an example of how failure to manage the long-term and far-reaching consequences of septic systems can impact the public health and economic health of Maryland's rural communities. Goldsboro is a community that has suffered for more than a decade with the problems of septic systems, and the town has endured water pollution and financial and legal difficulties as a result.
To demonstrate the past and current problems with septic systems and urge action to limit future growth of pollution, the Governor will wade into the lake.
WHAT: Governor O'Malley to wade into Lake Bonnie to demonstrate urgent need to curb septic system pollution
WHEN: Wednesday, March 9, 2011 at 3:15 p.m.
WHERE: Lake Bonnie in Goldsboro
14736 Poplar Street
Goldsboro, MD

Dear God, please allow him to forget how to swim.
With all of the crap he has, he liable to make the lake worse.
I always thought that the Eastern Shore was the outhouse of Maryland anyway. So what does he care for. My guess is he probebly owns stock in the company that is going to make all these high dollar septic systems.
IF there are problems with septic systems in Goldsboro, then those specific issues should be dealt with. Banning all septic systems seems a bit harsh.
You would not ban all cars if someone were to crash on the highway and get killed, would you? But this seems to be the mentality of the politicos in Annapolis on the issue of septic systems and water pollution.
Wading into a polluted lake is a publicity stunt, pure and simple.
Let's invite our Governor down to Salisbury and have him take a dip in the Wicomico River right after the Salisbury municipal sewer system or treatment plant has one of its many overflows! Would that prove that municipal systems are large polluters of the Chesapeake Bay watershed?
I'd be willing to bet that there are many municipal systems around Maryland with similar issues --- maybe we should just ban using toilets altogether?
To have the best chance at Passing the New 2011 EPA Drain Field and Nitrate Level Inspections; which are happening across the Country with little as 2 weeks notice; Use the All-Natural http://www.MillerPlante.net "Septic-Helper 2000" and the Phosphate and Nitrate Free "Enza Washer Balls". The Septic System Treatment has the natural bacteria and enzymes that liquefy the waste in the tank AND out in the drain field.
No matter where you live, the New 2011 EPA mandates say that even a wet spot in your drain field or elevated Nitrate levels could require replacement of your entire system for $10,000 to $30,000 or move out of your home or business.
