Dense Development, Old Septic Systems Harming Water Quality

Washington Post, by Christy Goodman

Water quality in Mill Creek and other tributaries to the Solomons harbor is diminishing, probably because of dense development and old septic systems, according to an annual report by the Chesapeake Biological Laboratories.

The report shows increases in chlorophyll concentrations in drought years, such as last year, said Wayne Boynton, a scientist with the laboratories, a branch of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
