Panel presses for on-site sanitary facilities and expects county enforcement for dust
Summary
Panel members said any active parcel on the trucking site should provide on-site sanitary facilities and emphasized that enforcement of allowable dust levels belongs to the county; the panel agreed to include sanitation language and to rely on county enforcement channels for compliance.
As part of its deliberations, the panel addressed two implementation issues: on-site sanitation for workers and the role of county enforcement in addressing dust. William Paul Schock said he was upset by reports that site users lacked access to facilities and proposed explicit language requiring bathrooms on any parcel in use; he offered to draft that language for the order.
Panel members also cautioned that the tribunal cannot itself police day-to-day operations; rather, the panel can impose conditions in a zoning order and expect Baltimore County to enforce health and nuisance standards if the facility exceeds legal limitations. Joseph Evans said reliance on county enforcement was necessary when technical dust standards must be applied.
