Ordered 10 End
Stream Pollution
Prince Georges Court
Gives Gravel Company
Choice of Methods

The A. H. Smith Sand & Shovel
Co. Of Branchville, Md. must act
to reduce pollution In streams
leading into the Anacostia River,
a Maryland court judge declared
yesterday.
In a 15-page opinion filed with
the Prince Georges County Circuit
Court. Chief Judge John B. Gray.
jr., said he would issue a decree
directing the Smith firm to take
one of several measures.
Such action, Judge Gray wrote,
must be taken within 60 days
from signing of the decree.
Judge Gray's opinion was based
on hearings last month in the
Calvert County Circuit Court in
which the Maryland Water Pol
luton Control Commission sought
to restrain the firm from dis
charging waste water directly into
Indian Greek. The stream leads
into the Northeast Branch, which
in turn runs into the Anacostia,
near Bladensburg.
To Keep Jurisdiction.
The jurist, in not granting the
injunction, said he deemed the
corrective methods preferable.
His opinion added, however, that
the court would retain Jurisdiction
over the matter to see that it's
instructions are carried out, or to
require other action If these are
ineffective.
1T is manifestly a serious thing
for the court to issue an injunc-
ton which could operate as a
death sentence on an enterprise
of this character and Importance, :"
Judge Gray asserted.
The alternatives, Judge Gray
said, were recommended by the
State pollution agency. One would
require the firm to change its
sand processing operations to d.
vert "settleable matter" into wa
tiers of a nearby lake owned by
the company. Another would call
for various construction changes
to impound such excess matter.
The firm may also devise some
other adequate method" of its
own.
Sewage Problem Remains.
The fact that an unsatisfactory
sewage situation" still exists as a
result of discharge of raw sewage
into the stream from sewer lines
operated by the Washington SUBJ
urban Sanitary Commission docs
not afford the defendant, Smith,
a license to continue with his pol
luton" the judge noted. He said
plans already are under way for
construction of an interceptor
sewer to relieve the sewage situa-
ton in that area.
The Smith Co. was found guilty
and fined $50 in Upper Marlboro
Police Court in September, 1949,
for violating an anti-pollution or
der of the commission. The firm
appealed. however, and the deci-
sion was reversed. The State
agency then instituted the civil
proceedings.
