MIDSHORE II

The second phase of the Midshore Counties cooperative solid waste partnership is MIDSHORE REGIONAL SOLID WASTE FACILITY  II.

Midshore II, is slated to open by 2011, two miles east of the town of Ridgely in Caroline County. The site is partially bordered on the east by Holly Road, on the north by River Road, and to the south by Holsinger Lane. The 223.5 acre property consists of two adjacent parcels.

The original parcel of approximately 18 acres was acquired in 1965 by the Caroline County Commissioners, which contains the exist­ing inactive Holly Road Landfill. The second parcel of approximately 205 acres was pur­chased in 1975 to provide for future expansion of the then-operational Holly Road Landfill, and as a source of sand and gravel for County roads and construction projects.
