Pocomoke River State Park
The Pocomoke River runs 66 miles from southern Delaware through a series of relatively inaccessible wetlands called the Great Cypress Swamp in southeastern Maryland, eventually emptying into the Chesapeake Bay. In something of a surprise (for us), the three-member Maryland Board of Public Works yesterday approved issuing a permit to Chesapeake Utilities that allows the company to install a natural gas pipeline by horizontally drilling under the Pocomoke River. This is the same three-member Maryland Board of Public Works that has, for years, blocked Columbia Gas from installing a pipeline the same way under the Potomac River (see Fed Judge Upholds Maryland Decision to Block Pipe Under Potomac). Does anyone else smell big, fat, corrupt hypocrites in Maryland?
