Eight affiliates of the Water-keeper Alliance have asked Maryland's highest court to review a recent ruling that individual farmers' identities must be protected from disclosure when their nutrient management plans for reducing polluted runoff are released under the Maryland Public Information Act (Waterkeeper Alliance Inc. v. Maryland Department of AgricultureMd. Court of Appeals, Petition Docket No. 221, 6/18/13). The Waterkeeper groups, represented by the Environmental Integrity Project, filed a petition June 18 in Maryland's Court of Appeals seeking a review of a May 2 ruling by the Court of Special Appeals. That court affirmed that state regulators must protect farmers' personally identifying information when nutrient management plans are made public (44 ER 1421, 5/10/13).
