Commissioners open 60-day comment period for proposed recycling facility in Prince Frederick
Summary
After a Department of Public Works presentation, the commission directed staff to forward a proposed text amendment to add a culvert recycling facility and transfer station (Sun Companies LLC) at 5340 Catch Road for the required 60-day interjurisdictional comment period; the motion passed by voice vote.
The county's Department of Public Works Solid Waste Division presented a proposed text amendment to the 10-year comprehensive solid waste management plan to allow a privately owned culvert recycling facility and transfer station to operate at 5340 Catch Road in Prince Frederick.
Presenter and proposal: the presenter (introduced in staff roll call as Maria Lubarski, Solid Waste Division chief) said Sun Companies LLC intends to open a culvert recycling facility and transfer station that would require a Maryland Department of the Environment refuse disposal permit and a plan amendment. She described the facility's permitted capacity at 750 tons per day of nonhazardous construction and demolition (C&D) waste and said received material would be separated for permitted processing, recycling, or disposal and that the facility would serve Southern Maryland counties.
Commission action: Commissioner Kerney moved that staff forward the draft text amendment to the necessary jurisdictions and agencies for the required 60-day comment period; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with unanimous support (commission recorded "that's 7" yes). The commission did not adopt an amendment or permit in the meeting; staff will distribute the draft for comment and accept agency and jurisdictional responses during the 60-day period per state law.
What's next: distribution for the 60-day interjurisdictional comment period and review of responses; any permit decision (MDE refuse disposal permit) and final plan amendment would occur through subsequent administrative and regulatory steps.
