Jeff Lawson led Harford residents? successful effort to stop sewage sludge from being spread at Susquehanna State Park. The sludge contained pathogens, forcing people off the land for a year after application, and preventing animals from grazing for a month. The state Department of Natural Resources leased the land to Texas-based Synagro Technologies Inc., which hauls and spreads sludge, and the Maryland Department of the Environment issues permits.
Did Synagro Technologies Inc., Harford County or state agencies act criminally or unethically by having sewage sludge spread on Susquehanna State Park?
