The Town of Cheverly and its Green Infrastructure Committee are working in partnership with the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) and the University of Maryland to monitor and clean up air pollution.  22 monitoring sites are now spread throughout the Cheverly area (https://rb.gy/zfoptw). In 2021, using this information and public input, MDE ran a two-month intensive inspection effort in the area (https://rb.gy/y2beof) and is now beginning to

implement three Cheverly-focused targeted enforcement initiatives.  These are a focus on potentially illegal truck idling, one on fugitive dust, and one that continues the targeted inspection program that was started in 2021 with twice-monthly inspections in the Cheverly and surrounding areas.  

 

You can help!!  At the community meeting on the 21st, MDE will be providing an overview of this new effort, but more importantly, seeking the community's ideas and input on what the most important issues are.  The meeting will also include a session on how residents can report problems that they see to help MDE take action to eliminate activities that create unhealthy air pollution.
