Crownsvillle Dump and Landfill Cleanup
A CLA volunteer attorney assisted the South River Federation (SRF) with legal advice, strategy, and advocacy to clean up a landfill in Crownsville, Maryland. Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) filed a lawsuit against the owners of the dump, and SRF intervened. The parties reached an agreement, enforced by the court, to remove tires, restore wetlands and other compromised natural areas, and preserve the property in conservation easement with Maryland Environmental Trust.
