Governor Larry Hogan announced this weekend that he is ending the statewide requirement that business and homes use the best available technology for septic tanks.
During an appearance at the Maryland Association of Counties Hogan said that businesses and local leaders complained that the regulations had been expensive and a burden.
WBOC reports that while repealing the regulations there would be environmental safeguards in the critical areas.
In addition, the governor said he would be working to end the transportation project scoring system that was enacted this year.
He said that Eastern Shore delegates expressed concerned that projects in the region could get put off.
