Medical Waste Associates, Inc. v. Maryland Waste Coalition, Inc.

ELDRIDGE, Judge.

The dispute in this case arises from the decisions of the Maryland Department of the Environment to issue two permits which allowed Medical Waste Associates, Inc., to construct a medical waste incinerator in Baltimore City. Maryland Waste Coalition is an incorporated volunteer environmental organization whose corporate purpose is protecting Maryland’s environment. The central question in this case relates to whether and how the Coalition can challenge the issuance of these permits in light of the standing requirements of Maryland law.
