Recent Events GCC Meeting 8 May 2012Vice president of the GCC, Dan Scholfield, presided over the meeting. The guest speaker was Tim Berkoff, of the Growth Action Network (GAN) and Crofton First. Using a slide show he updated us on the various existing and potential water contamination near Crofton. He covered 1) the Fort Meade tetrachloroethene plume that is headed toward Crofton, 2) the BBSS fly ash site which is about a mile from the Crofton public water wells, 3) the proposed Cunningham/Tolson rubble landfill, and 4) the Chesapeake Terrace landfill. Dealing with the Ft. Meade plume is the Restoration Advisory Board. They meet every two months. The next meeting is 17 May 2012 (Thursday) at 7 pm at the Captain John Smathers Army Center (Building 2118) on Rt. 175. Constellation Energy is the company responsible for the BBSS Fly Ash site at the new Waugh Chapel South area. There are no community meetings and clean up decisions are being made behind closed doors. While Senator Ed Reilly's Senate Bill 1097 would have helped, it did not pass in the last legislative session. The proposed Cunningham landfill had been denied by the Maryland Department of Environment (MDE) but has resurfaced as the Tolson landfill. There is an older landfill nearby that is contaminating both upper and lower aquifers. A refuse disposal permit by the Chesapeake Terrace landfill will have public hearings in the future. The Growth Action Network (GAN) has recently established a task force to study landfill issues in the county. There is a GAN meeting on 17 May 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm at Annapolis High School, Room 104, Riva Road. County executive liaison to the Crofton area, Jody Leddy, could not stay for the full meeting, but did leave the following information. Budget highlights: Over 50% of the budget goes to the Board of Education (BOE), 20% to public safety. County employee furloughs have been eliminated.Anne Arundel County Fiscal 2013 budget information. As of 8 May 2012, the County Executive had not yet made a decision whether he would veto the open space bill. Community Post-Session Briefing
