Wheelabrator Baltimore

Wheelabrator Baltimore, also known as WIN Waste Baltimore, is a waste-to-energy incinerator located in the Westport neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland, and is operated by Wheelabrator Technologies. It has an electric generation capacity of 64.5 megawatts. On October 2, 2018, ECP announced the agreement to sell Wheelabrator Technologies to Macquarie Infrastructure Partners, a subsidiary of Macquarie Group. Operation In operation since 1985, the incinerator's tall white smokestack that reads "Baltimore" is considered to be a distinctive landmark for travelers on nearby Interstate 95 and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. Formerly known as BRESCO (Baltimore Refuse Energy Systems Co.), the incinerator has been plagued by controversy over air pollution and operating with an expired air pollution permit. The ash produced at the incinerator is then used for the city's Quarantine Road landfill at Hawkins Point. In 2010, several environmental groups, including the Washington, D.C.–based Environmental Integrity Project (EIP), the Baltimore Harbor Waterkeeper, the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, and Clean Water Action have successfully intervened in the Wheelabrator's permit-renewal process, which prompted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to order the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) to reinforce the plant's pollution-monitoring necessities. According to a 2011 report by the EIP, the Wheelabrator Incinerator produces more mercury, lead, and greenhouse gases per hour of energy than each of the state's four largest coal-fired power plants. In addition, the incinerator produces nitrogen oxide emissions, which can contribute to smog and pollution in the Chesapeake Bay. EIP staff attorney Jennifer Peterson stated: This is excellent news for cleaner air and cleaner water in Maryland. Without monitoring of emissions, we are really flying blind—neither the public nor MDE can be sure what's coming out of the Wheelabrator stacks. Emission monitoring ensures that companies are actually complying with the law. We are pleased that EPA intervened here to do the right thing and hope that MDE will fix this permit and take steps to ensure that emissions monitoring of mercury, particulate matter, and other harmful pollutants is as accurate as it can be. In 2021, the Wheelabrator Incinerator was Baltimore's "single largest standing source of air pollution."

Willoughby Park

Willoughby Park is a city park in Friendship Heights, an incorporated area on the edge of Washington, D.C. Named after the adjacent Willoughby Condominium Building, it is at the intersection of Willard Ave and Friendship Boulevard. It is served by the Friendship Heights metro and bus station of the Washington Metro, which is located two blocks from the park. Designed by Robert (Bob) Good, of Stephenson & Good Landscape Architecture, the park is characterized by its location in the midst of high-rise luxury condominium buildings. While there is some traffic noise, the park is generally quiet with few users. Sharing the intersection is a Chipotle Restaurant, the edge of the Geico Corporate campus, and another park directly across the street. Features The park is heavily terraced, and slopes downhill from Friendship Blvd. There are many flights of stairs and ledges. There are many growing trees, a grassy oval, paved brick surface, and benches located throughout the park. There is an iron armillary sphere sculpture that weighs 5,000 pounds with mythological creatures and birds sitting atop sculpted white clouds and black marble. The sculpture by Steven Weitzman is said to be based on ancient ways of reading the universe. History In the 19th century, this land was part of the Shoemaker Farm. After the construction of the adjacent Willoughby condo, this land was known as Willoughby Gulch, and consisted of a steep grassy slope leading 40 vertical feet up to the street level from the side of the building. The land had been acquired for the construction of the Willoughby Condominium and plans called for construction of a third tower in this location. In April 2001 the park was renamed and redeveloped by JBG Co. as part of JBG's office and retail project to build the Chase Tower Complex (across the street). In 2009, the park hosted the Capital Bocking USA event, where free lessons were given for walking on stilts. References
