County Hopes To Meet With State On Watershed Plan

SNOW HILL -- As per last month’s decision to protest the requirements in the state-written Phase II Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP), the Worcester County Commissioners sent a letter of concern to the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) on June 29. At their meeting this Tuesday, the commissioners briefly reviewed what issues they have with the proposed WIP as well as highlighting the steps the county has already taken toward reducing its negative impact on the Chesapeake Bay’s watershed.

In the letter, which was sent to MDE Water Quality Protection and Restoration Program Manager Dr. James George, the commissioners discuss eight requirements proposed in the WIP and list concerns associated with each.

“We also tried to point out our strengths,” said Director of Development Review and Permits Ed Tudor.
