The project also required filling an acre and a half of wetlands and burying 300 feet of a creek in a culvert. They even had to "make" the land to build it on! All under MDE supervision.

Oh that’s gross and sad but I’m not surprised.

I hate to lose good wetlands but the land there now is better than it was before. The contractors capped over contaminated soil that had been polluted with years of industrial waste and was leaching into the Patapsco river. The fill used was certified clean fill. So they basically made new clean land where old dirty land used to be. The "creek" that is now in a culvert is tidal. It used to lead to a mill where ravens stadium is.
