The opinion
*232 RODOWSKY, Judge,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. In my view the issue of intervention is not mooted by the consent decree because the conditions to which operation of the latter is subject have not been fulfilled, to date. Further, I believe that Montgomery County, Maryland, should have been permitted to intervene for the reasons stated in Part II.A of the dissenting opinion by Judge ELDRIDGE.
