Maryland regulators filed suit today against South Baltimore's medical waste incinerator over emissions violations, just months after operators of the facility agreed to pay $1.75M penalty for a litany of environmental violations. w/ @Dylan_Segelbaum thebaltimorebanner.com/commu…

It is time to close this facility and protect the health of the surrounding communities!
Community monitoring led to today's action. Now, we need 1) suspension of operations 2) institutions sending waste, cut ties 3) City Council, repeal 1990's law allowing importation of toxic medical waste from all of US and Canada. baltimoresun.com/2024/03/14/…

"I have always historically rejected the idea that waste-to-energy should be in the Renewable Portfolio. [But] process matters” Senate Pres Ferguson in 2021. @SenBillFerg, it's 2024! The process is complete! Will you hold a vote on SB146, the Reclaim Renewable Energy Act?

Passing the #ReclaimRenewable Energy Act in #mdga24 is within reach - but only if legislative leaders decide to schedule it for a vote! Please take 5 minutes today to make 4 phone calls - then email your own legislators here! cleanwater.org/md-rrea

Testified today for HB166, a bill to end renewable energy subsidies for trash incineration, which would free up millions of dollars to support true renewable energy. 11 colleagues and I on the Baltimore City Council signed a letter this week supporting this legislation.

Yes, Maryland continues to direct millions in subsidies to burning trash & calls it a renewable energy program. D46 residents have spent nearly a decade trying right this injustice. @SenBillFerg do you need any more info about how this policy makes our everyday lives worse?
🏭 Maryland is poised to waste over $300 million dollars subsidizing trash incineration between 2012 and 2030. These findings come days before the MD General Assembly is scheduled to hold its final hearing on the Reclaim Renewable Energy Act of 2024. peer.org/new-analysis-shows-…

“Instead of prioritizing problems identified by Maryland’s hardest-hit communities, MDE went a different way…The bill does not cover any permit to operate an already-existing air pollution source, no matter how large or dirty” ⁦⁦ marylandmatters.org/2024/02/…

The largest medical waste incinerator in the country - just found guilty of major crimes - claimed they had cleaned up their act. Today, they were literally on fire. @MDEnvironment has been notified and sent inspectors on site. @PhyliciaPorter_ we will share as we learn.

“It’s outrageous that we are still choosing to allow coal to be shipped in uncovered train cars just feet from our homes, schools and water in communities like mine in South Baltimore, an area with some of the worst health outcomes in the state” said Carlos Sanchez
#BREAKING: Today, we joined @SierraClub & other ally groups to file a petition for rulemaking with @EPA, calling upon the agency to regulate open-top coal cars throughout the U.S. under the Clean Water Act: Read our full press release here: publicjustice.net/groups-urg…

With historic levels of federal funding available and community and institutional leadership already in place for Zero Waste implementation...there is no excuse for delaying the phase out of toxic incineration any longer.
.@MayorBMScott pledged not to extend the city's contract with the polluting BRESCO waste incinerator. A @BaltimoreDPW planning document, however, anticipates the facility will "likely continue" to operate through the mid-2030s. bit.ly/41KXYaM

It has happened before, it will happen again, but go off about how there have never been rail issues, @CSX. 43 years before it happened in Palestine, Ohio, it happened in @CommunityCurtis, Baltimore, MD. Same chemicals, same railways, same problems. Enough.
