Study: Sewage Polluting Maryland Waterways With Harmful Bacteria
*Some of the most polluted water passes under Route 40.
Were finding extraordinary amounts of bacteria in the water, especially in the Honey Go Run and White Marsh Run higher up, Robert added.
After heavy rain, White Marsh Run is 400 times above safe levels for fecal contamination.
Glade Run in Frederick County is 324 times above.
Cascade Falls in Howard County is 304 times above.
Were concerned about our kids, were concerned about our kids in the tributaries, who love to play in those waters, Janet said.
The sources of the pollution is believed to be a combination of human waste from septic or sewer systems, as well as animal waste washed off the land.'>>>
