Septic Bill Approved

"The Sustainable Growth and Agricultural Preservation Act of 2012 is a major step forward for issues that have been kept separate for too long: smart growth and protecting our streams, rivers and bays. The initiative significantly strengthens Maryland's role as a national model for these issues. If implemented correctly, it will more effectively address the proliferation of residential, large-lot sprawl on farm and forest land, and the related problems of bay pollution and rising public infrastructure costs.”

- Richard Eberhart Hall
