House of Delegates Passes MAR Septic Legislation

Jay's note: This is great legislation for us here in Garrett County, as very few areas are serviced by public sewer.

House of Delegates Passes MAR Septic Legislation

HB 62 will ensure that property owners living in Maryland's Critical Areas will receive a grant to fund the cost difference between a conventional septic system and one using nitrogen reduction technology when replacing a failing septic system. The legislation will override the current means test now being used by the Maryland Department of Environment. The legislation take effect on October 1, 2010.
