No ICE concentration camp in Maryland: Mapping the 200,000 gallons of crap it’ll dump daily in the Potomac

Maryland Orders Washington County to Freeze Sewer Expansion for Planned ICE Detention Center

A state environmental order bars the county from expanding its sewer system, the latest obstacle in a legal fight over the federal government's plan to detain immigrants in a warehouse there. The Administrative Order, issued by the Maryland Department of the Environment, was filed the same day in federal court as part of the ongoing lawsuit Maryland brought against federal immigration authorities over their plans to convert a massive warehouse in Williamsport into a detention facility for up to 1,500 immigrants...  the agency found, existing infrastructure “is inadequate to convey wastewater flows.”

A detention facility housing 1,500 people, using numbers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s own planning documents, would require an estimated 209,000 gallons daily. - Project Salt Box

50 million native mussels

Stormwater from the Wright Road property drains into Semple Run, which feeds Conococheague Creek, which empties into the Potomac River and eventually the Chesapeake Bay. Maryland has spent tens of millions of dollars restoring the Potomac watershed and has committed to reintroducing 50 million native mussels to the river by 2040. Three state agency secretaries warned in a March letter that sewage overflows from the facility would not stay on the property. - Project Salt Box
