DCL Lake Grass Control - Bob-S - 02-15-2024
Sky Valley Members
Efforts to try and control near shore grass growth have come down to legislation written by State Senator Mike McKay( SB837) and our Delegate Jim Hinebaugh (HB910).
These bills will have hearings in Annapolis on Feb 20 and 23rd respectively. They will require Brookfield Power to lower the lake for at least 30 days during the winter each year. This historically has prevented growth by killing of the grass by exposing it to the cold temperatures. Brookfield refuses to do this so legislation was drafted by the County and other stakeholders with the support of Mike and Jim.
Following are the email addresses for both committee chairmen that will hold these hearings. Please write them and express your support for both Bills.
HB910 – Mark.Korman@house.state.md.us (Environment & Transportation
SB837 – Brian.Feldman@senate.state.md.us (Education & Environment)
Thanks,
Bob Sutton
