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.

  • CODE R E D the Critical Condition of Health in Texas the Report Solution: Now Is the Time for Texas to Take Bold Steps
    CODE R E D The Critical Condition of Health in Texas The Report Solution: Now is the time for Texas to take bold steps. Problem: Texas has the highest percentage of uninsured in the nation. Now is the time for Texas to take bold steps. steps. bold take to Texas for time the is Now Solution: [ Preface ] On behalf of the entire Task Force on Access to Health Care in Texas, we want to make a few points as a preface to the Report. First, the Task Force is eclectic and brings diverse backgrounds, experiences and expertise to bear on the problems associated with the uninsured and underinsured in Texas. Indeed, this diversity enriched the deliberations and recommendations of the Task Force, who served without compensation. Second, while diverse with regards to expertise, etc., the Task Force is singular with regard to the importance and magnitude of the problem that inadequate health insurance poses, not only to the physical and mental health of the residents of Texas, but also to the financial well being of the state. The Task Force is unanimous in its emphasis that this is not a problem of the future, but one that is already here. Third, the Task Force feels that the Report is, in so far as possible, an evidence-based, objective, non-partisan effort with six well prepared commissioned papers and an independent review by a group of experts. The Task Force recognizes that long-term solutions to the challenges of our health system will require a national effort and new national approaches.
