Kent County Continues Talks About Bay Health And Conowingo


CHESTERTOWN - Tuesday evening's county commissioners' meeting lasted far longer than any in recent memory, and the topic was dirty water.
There was a long discussion of the Funk & Bolton law firm's proposal develop a research report on Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Loads which can be used for lobbying and in response to state-mandated planning and reporting.
Charles “Chip” MacLeod, of Funk & Bolton, told commissioners Ron Fithian, William Pickrum and Billy Short that his proposal for a coalition of counties to push back against state water-quality requirements called Watershed Improvement Plans “is not about litigation. We want to force a public policy discussion on whether we are being fiscally prudent” under the state's existing plan.
