Commissioner to raise Piney Point pipeline access, EPA and grant questions at MACo conference
Summary
A commissioner said he will ask the Maryland Department of the Environment and others at the Maryland Association of Counties conference about a longstanding grant and pipeline access at Piney Point and suggested the EPA is no longer following parts of the agreement.
Commissioner (unnamed) said he plans to meet Maryland Department of the Environment officials at the Maryland Association of Counties conference to press for answers about pipeline access related to Piney Point and a decades-old grant.
“I hope to meet with the secretary from Maryland Department of the Environment, Talk about things about, the pipeline that goes down to to Piney Point and find out why that's still denied access after 40 years of that grant and how EPA doesn't even follow it anymore after 20 years,” the commissioner said. He did not provide documents or further detail in his remarks and did not report any formal county action concerning the grant or pipeline.
The statement in the transcript attributes the timeline and enforcement claims to the commissioner’s account; no MDE or EPA statements or records were supplied in the meeting.
The commissioner said he also intends to discuss SALT impacts with the state comptroller while at the conference.
