Description
The Bay Restoration Fund (BRF) has been an important source of county government funding for upgrading both waste water treatment plants and failing septic systems. Legislation passed during the 2014 General Assembly Session expands the ability of county governments to access BRF monies when hooking up failing septics to treatment plants or enforcing septic system requirements for best available nutrient removal technology. Further changes are anticipated to the BRF funding stream in 2017 as the majority of major wastewater treatment plant upgrades are completed and Maryland’s progress in meeting its Chesapeake Bay water pollution goals are reevaluated. Panelists will discuss the new funding opportunities available under the BRF and the likely future changes to the Fund.
