"Industrial facilities dumped more than two million pounds of toxic chemicals into Maryland’s waterways, according to a report released today by Environment Maryland: Wasting Our Waterways: Industrial Toxic Pollution and the Unfulfilled Promise of the Clean Water Act. The report also finds that toxic chemicals were discharged in 1,900 waterways across all 50 states.

Most of Maryland’s toxins are found in Curtis Bay and the Patapsco River. Pennsylvania’s Susquehanna River, the largest single contributor of fresh water to the Chesapeake Bay, ranked among the 20 top waterways for total toxic discharges."
