Dorchester County Council has withdrawn from an appeal filed by the Clean Chesapeake Coalition over Maryland’s agreement with Constellation Energy regarding the Conowingo Dam, saying the move will help avoid delays and keep cleanup efforts moving forward.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore has announced an agreement between the state and Constellation Energy, operators of the  Conowingo Dam, to implement operational and environmental improvements at the dam to promote the health of the Chesapeake Bay.

A U.S. appeals court invalidated a federal license for the Conowingo Dam in Maryland on Tuesday, sending it back to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for further proceedings.
