The Governor appointed this Committee at the request of the
Board of Natural Resources in .1967. The Committee consists of
members of the House of Delegates and the Senate together with
citizens from each of the basin counties. The Committee is to
recommend what can be done to save the watershed from the threat
of pollution, erosion, and urban encroachment and to initiate a plan
for its development so that the pollution of the river and its tribu-
taries may be abated. In July 1968, the Committee completed a report
which warned that portions of the Patuxent River are now threatened
with early destructive pollution and unsightly degradation unless
immediate steps are taken to prevent this from happening. In its
report, the Committee recommended that all existing water treat-
ment plants be immediately brought to their maximum level of
operating efficiency and that work be started on a new basin-wide
treatment disposal system based on the anticipated increased waste
load demands that will be made on the river during the coming
years. In addition, the Committee recommended a variety of open
space park and recreational programs along the banks of the river
to preserve the environment. The Committee is continuing its in-
vestigations to implement the report.
