Chesapeake City: new wastewater plant nearing completion; MDE fine reduced
Summary
Councilmember Lee Adams reported Aug. 12 that Chesapeake City's new wastewater treatment plant is nearing completion with punch-list items remaining, and that the Maryland Department of the Environment reduced a prior fine from about $79,000 to about $50,000.
Councilmember Lee Adams told the Town Council on Aug. 12 that Chesapeake City's new wastewater treatment plant is nearing completion, with a few closeout and warranty items still to be addressed.
Adams read last month's plant flow figures from the county report and told the council that the Maryland Department of the Environment had reduced a prior fine related to the old plant from about $79,000 to about $50,000. He noted the town was building the new plant at the time the violations occurred.
Adams' remarks indicate the operational transition to the new WWTP is underway but not yet finalized; the minutes record punch-list and warranty work remains. The council did not record further actions tied to the fine or additional budgetary measures at this meeting.
Next steps: town staff will continue closeout work on the WWTP and address outstanding warranty items; the minutes do not list a firm completion date.
