Correction: The properties on Kearney Way in Indian Head where a landslide occurred are not in an area where a local town allowed construction to go forward without the appropriate state approvals and in violation of Maryland's Critical Area law. In fact, the properties affected by the landslide are on a neighboring parcel known as Riverwatch Commons which did not require approvals from Maryland's Critical Areas Commission before it was built.

The state does not allege that the landslide is related to the planning dispute on neighboring property known as Riverwatch.

The developer of Riverwatch Commons is acting quickly to stabilize and repair the landslide at no cost to the affected homeowners
