Decision comes after the Scott administration – under fire over the proposal – denied the company’s application to send the pre-treated water to the Back River sewage plant.

SPECIAL REPORT: A former CHAP staff member says the panel failed to follow its own procedural rules. Also called out: the one-hour gap in the now-taken-down meeting video.

Blue Water Baltimore protests the move, questioning why Baltimore is being used as “a dumping ground for contaminants and carcinogens.”

Critics call it wrong – even “crazy” – to send contaminated water from the Ohio train disaster to the troubled Back River sewage plant. Scott calls it assisting in “a national emergency.”
