Pivotal moment for county planning! We can prohibit drilling in the DCL watershed.
A group of 11 individuals and prominent business owners recognize the importance of protecting Deep Creek Lake from natural gas development, including hydraulic fracturing. They submitted a petition to change the Deep Creek Lake zoning ordinance to bring it into compliance with the Deep Creek Lake Watershed Management Plan recently adopted by the County Commissioners.
The County Commissioners have scheduled a public hearing to solicit public input regarding the petition. |
To see the petition, click here.
Attend the public hearing to support the petition.
Attend this important meeting to show your support of good county planning. Adopting zoning to protect the Deep Creek Lake Watershed is our only chance to forbid fracking from entering the landscape around our greatest asset. Our tourism market is our biggest employer and revenue stream.
