The Inter-County Connector (ICC) is a proposed highway spanning Montgomery
and Prince George's Counties in suburban Maryland, a few miles north
of the Capital Beltway. The ICC would link the I-270 corridor near Gaithersburg
on the west with the I-95 corridor near Laurel on the east. The ICC
Master Plan Alignment crosses the Paint Branch headwater tributaries
three times and parallels the primary wild trout spawning area for more
than a mile. This highway would destroy more wetlands and forest than
any other project ever submitted to the Corps of Engineers for permit
application in this district. Federal agencies have stopped the ICC
three times in the past 40 years, most recently in 1997 when the EPA
gave it its worst possible rating.
