The Maryland Board of Public Works today approved a $146 million Bay Restoration Fund grant to Baltimore City which, along with a previous $141 million Bay Restoration Fund grant, will help fund the Enhanced Nutrient Removal upgrade of the Back River Wastewater Treatment Plant. Excessive amounts of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus lead to lowered levels of oxygen needed to support aquatic life in waterways, including the Chesapeake Bay. Enhanced Nutrient Removal upgrades of the state’s major wastewater treatment plants are a critical component of Maryland’s blueprint for restoring the Bay and its tributaries. The Back River plant upgrade was one of seven clean water projects in various parts of the state that received funding through Board action. news.maryland.gov/mde/2014/10/29/board-of-public-works-approves-funding-for-clean-water-and-the-chesapeake-bay-10/
