MD — Proposed changes to the Maryland’s Nutrient Management Regulations are
still being developed and discussed with the Maryland Department of
Agriculture’s Nutrient Management Advisory Committee and are nowhere near final
as some rumors contend, according to Agriculture Secretary Buddy Hance.
“The advisory committee
has been internally reviewing scientifically based, proposed regulatory changes
to the current nutrient management regulations,” Hance said. “It appears that
committee members reached out to various stakeholders for their comments as
well leading some to think we were rushing a public comment period.”
