Carroll faces fine for stormwater fee implementation

Carroll faces fine for stormwater fee implementation

Carroll County is facing fines of up to $10,000 a day after the Maryland Department of Environment and the Attorney General's Office reviewed the county's efforts to avoid levying a stormwater fee on residents.

The Board of Carroll County Commissioners voted unanimously June 27 to adopt a resolution creating a Watershed Protection and Restoration Fund to be funded by grants and county dollars instead of creating a stormwater fee paid by area businesses and residents.

The state's Watershed Protection and Restoration Program, signed into law in 2012, requires the state's nine largest counties and Baltimore City to collect fees to pay for stormwater management as well as stream and wetland restoration projects. The projects are aimed at improving water quality and reducing phosphorous and nitrogen entering the Chesapeake Bay.
