Outdated stormwater rainfall models

Calvert County

Summary

Friends of Hunting Creek says the county's stormwater systems are designed on rainfall models that understate today's storms, flooding budgets and waterways. A CBL report was delivered in 2024, but ordinance fixes keep slipping — now to mid-2026 — and the group wants faster action before developers lock in approved plans.
