Sources of Pollution in Baltimore County – Middle River 8. Sources of Pollution in Baltimore County – Patapsco River 9. FAQs – Polluted Runoff and Fees POLLUTED RUNOFF IN BALTIMORE COUNTY Baltimore County contains the headwaters for many of the streams and tributaries feeding into the Patapsco River, one of the major rivers of the Chesapeake Bay. These tributaries include Bodkin Creek, Jones Falls, Gwynns Falls, Patapsco River Lower North Branch, Liberty Reservoir and South Branch Patapsco. Baltimore County is also home to the Gunpowder River, Middle River, and the Back River. Unfortunately, all of these streams and rivers are polluted by nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment and are considered “impaired” by the Maryland Department of the Environment, meaning the water quality is too low to support the water’s intended use. One major contributor to that pollution and impairment is polluted runoff. Polluted runoff contaminates our local rivers and streams and threatens local drinking water. Water running off of roofs, driveways, lawns and parking lots picks up trash, motor oil, grease, excess lawn fertilizers, pesticides, dog waste and other pollutants and washes them into the streams and rivers flowing through our communities. This pollution causes a multitude of problems, including toxic algae blooms, harmful bacteria, extensive dead zones, reduced dissolved oxygen, and unsightly trash clusters.

  • Freshwater Fisheries Monthly Report – November 2019 Freshwater Fisheries
    Freshwater Fisheries Monthly Report – November 2019 Freshwater Fisheries - Stock Assessment Upper Potomac River - Completed the annual fall electrofishing survey of the upper Potomac ​ River. This survey collects information on adult smallmouth bass at multiple sites from Seneca upstream to Paw Paw, WV. Unfortunately, as expected, catch rates for adult smallmouth bass were down compared to the long-term average. Poor juvenile recruitment for the past 10 years has been a major factor behind this decline. Planning efforts are underway to produce juvenile smallmouth bass at hatchery facilities to boost numbers in areas of the river that have experienced the biggest declines. The surveys did show good numbers of juvenile fish produced during the 2019 spring spawn in some sections of the river. This is positive news that the population can bounce back if river flows remain stable during the spawning period. Average catch rate for adult smallmouth bass ( greater than11 inches) in the upper Potomac River (1988-2019). Liberty Reservoir - Conducted a nighttime electrofishing survey on Liberty Reservoir (Baltimore ​ and Carroll counties). Fourteen random sites around the entire perimeter of Liberty Reservoir were surveyed over three nights. Preliminary results show the proportional stock density (PSD) for smallmouth bass was 62 and the catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) of stock size and larger 1 smallmouth bass was 3/hour. Only nine smallmouth bass were collected during the survey. The largest smallmouth bass collected measured 44.9 cm (17.7 inches, 2.7 pounds). The largemouth bass PSD was 56 and the CPUE was 26/hour. The largest largemouth bass collected measured 49.1 cm (19.3 inches, 4.2 pounds).

    2016 Bond Bill Funding During the 2016 legislative session, the Maryland General Assembly evaluated 155 bond bill requests that totaled nearly $32.5 million. The Senate and the House each funded $7.5 million in legislative projects; individual bond bills were not acted upon by the legislature. Instead, the General Assembly amended the State Capital Budget Bill (SB 191) to specifically list the projects selected for funding. The chart below indicates the status of those bond bills funded in 2016. The "Total" column on the right indicates the total amount of funding approved for each project.
