Protection, conservation & restoration of the Gunpowder River
About
Hampstead waste water treatment plant (WWTP): after exhausting all other outreach & advocacy remedies, the riverkeeper appealed the MDE discharge permit by filing a petition for judicial review. A precedent setting legal settlement was reached that accelerated a 12 million dollar upgrade to the facility, allowing the riverkeeper to comment on a pending consent decree & changed MDE policy on public notice to require all municipal WWTP (230 statewide) to provide compliance information in the form of a fact sheet during future NPDES permit renewals - settlement included 20,000 contribution from Carroll County Maryland for GRK to use for protecting or improving water quality in the Gunpowder watershed - 30% of total projects
