A deal appears to be taking shape that would allow dredge material to be dumped on an island that is home to a state park and migratory birds.
Tradepoint Atlantic, the logistics center in Sparrows Point, is seeking approval to reopen the dredging facility at Hart-Miller Island, which is off Baltimore County’s coast.
In exchange, several people said that Tradepoint is offering $40 million, to be split evenly for recreational improvements to the island and to nearby communities.

I suggest citizens contact their local elected Maryland delegates and senators to find out the facts about the dredging project. Don’t go on assumptions.
