Action | Amend Nutrient Waste Load Allocations in Section 50.C. for the Merck WWTP and the Frederick-Winchester Service Authority Opequon WRF |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 7/25/2008 |
I am writing to oppose the proposed increase of the nutrient-discharge caps for the Merck Pharmaceutical and the Frederick-Winchester Service Authority wastewater treatment facilities, unless the company and the authority are required to fund nutrient offsets within the Shenandoah-Potomac watershed that result in no net increase of discharged nutrients in the watershed. This seems like a perfect opportunity to put the state's new nutrient credit exchange program into practice.
