Church Seeks Permit to Discharge into Little Gunpowder Falls

Mountain Christian Church, located at 1824 Mountain Road in Joppa, is seeking a permit to discharge up to 5,000 gallons of treated wastewater per day into a tributary that flows and enters into the Little Gunpowder Falls at the Jericho Covered Bridge.

The Maryland Department of the Environment will conduct a meeting on Tuesday July 2, 2019 from 1:30-2:30 PM at the Harford County Public Library in Joppa (655 Towne Center Drive, Joppa, MD 21085).

If you cannot attend, written comments will be accepted by the state until July 15, 2019 to:
Yen-Der Cheng, Chief, Wastewater Permits, WSA, Ref: #18DP3850,1800 Washington Blvd., Suite 455, Baltimore, MD 21230-1708.

I am very concerned about this proposal. Never once did I get an email or phone call about this plan. Regrettably, like development, it's another example of Harford County's policies affecting northeastern Baltimore County.
