The Conowingo Settlement
From I Hate Politics Podcast · 32:04
Show by Sunil Dasgupta
The Conowingo Dam in northern Maryland is the state's largest hydroelectric project and the Susquehanna River it controls is the largest tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. As part of renewing its federal license to operate, the dam's private owner, Constellation Energy and the state of Maryland have finally come to an agreement on improving water quality in the river, fish lifts, and dredging the dam's 9000-acre reservoir. Ted Evgeniadis of the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper and Robin Broder of Waterkeepers Chesapeake, were also parties to the negotiations and the agreement and joined Sunil Dasgupta to explain why the Conowingo Settlement was a big deal. Music by Drew Pictures and the Lead Extras.
