North East schedules June meeting with MDE after potential violation noted
Summary
Town staff said they will meet with the Maryland Department of the Environment in early June to discuss a possible environmental violation; officials said they are not prepared to provide a full report until after that meeting.
Town Administrator Melissa B. Cook-Mac Kenzie told the board on May 25 that she and Ronald Carter, the town's water superintendent, will meet with the Maryland Department of the Environment in the first week of June 2016 to discuss a potential violation. Cook-Mac Kenzie said staff have conducted research and held meetings but are not prepared to give a full report to the board until after their meeting with MDE.
The minutes record that town officials have discussed sediment and erosion, forest retention and sanitary sewer issues in relation to bonds for local developments (Ridgely Forest and the Chesapeake Club) and that the town is working with the county and a bank to try to settle related matters out of court. No formal findings or enforcement actions by MDE are recorded in the minutes; town staff did not provide specific details of the alleged violation at the May 25 meeting.
