It's an attack on the shore.
I was thinking of the septic issue...If we leave it the way it is the runoff takes maybe 100 years to get to the bay waters. If we have it pumped and taken to the waste treatment plant and pumped in it goes in the river every time it rains because it doesnt work! Maybe we should think first things first...get the water treatment plant up and running correctly.
I dont understand why the city didnt hire a local company to do this work in the first place. I think Davis Bowen and Fridel would have done an excelent job.
They could probally get the plant up and running from the state it is in. Buy LOCAL!
Bay pollution comes from the western shore.
This whole septic tank proposal stinks! This plan has Rich Hall,
Secretary of Planning written all over it. This bill will lower the value of farmland so the State will
not have to pay for the development rights of landowners. Just think of the millions the State will save!!
you all on the eastern shore are so paranoid and ignorant...you really think that no pollution comes from your side of the bay? with all the farms with fertilizer and manure...no one is saying the western shore is perfect but take some responsibility for yourselves...this is the reason why western shore residents think you are narrow minded people...
