Town Engineer Jason Lytle told council members that a Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) construction permit would not be required for a rebuild of the existing influent screen but would be required for either replacement option, a factor that could affect schedule and regulatory steps.

Town Engineer Jason Lytle told the council that the Town would not need a Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) construction permit if it chose the rebuild option for the influent screen (Option 1), but a construction permit from MDE would be required for either of the replacement options (Options 2 or 3).

Lytle's permitting clarification was discussed in the context of three options presented by Bearing Construction. The permit distinction could affect the project schedule and any required submittals to the state; council members said they would make a selection at the regular meeting later that evening and then notify the contractor of the Town's chosen path.
