		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT Residents of three Earleville communities, who have been fighting for decades to get state and federal agencies to resolve well water pollution caused by a federal dredge spoil dumpsite, will now get free bottled water after the federal Centers for Disease Control recently raised alarm bells about high manganese levels even in homes with water treatment systems. Elevated levels of manganese in drinking water have been shown in a Canadian study to lower children’s IQ and brain function while neurological damage similar to Parkinson’s disease has been found in older adults. A community meeting was hastily scheduled for Saturday 5/28/16, at 10 a.m. at Bohemia Manor High School, on Route 213 in Chesapeake City. Attending will be representatives of the CDC, Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE), the Cecil County Health Department, and the US Army Corps of Engineers, which owns the Pearce Creek dumpsite located at the end of Pond Neck Road. Bottled water is expected to be available at the meeting for residents of the West View Shores, Sunset Pointe, and Bayview Estates communities whose wells have been polluted by the dump. There are still many unanswered questions, such as why it took [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The US Army Corps of Engineers plans to formally apply for a state environmental permit later this month to allow resumed dumping of shipping channel dredge spoils at an Earleville dumpsite, with a “conditional” permit expected to be issued by October, state and federal officials said Saturday. The permit is expected to be contingent upon the Corps and the Maryland Port Administration carrying out promises to install a membrane liner over the Pearce Creek dumpsite and pay for extending a water pipeline from the Town of Cecilton to provide clean, safe water to local residents whose individual wells have been affected by the dump. Residents of three communities affected by the dump—West View Shores, Bay View Estates, Sunset Point and some individual homes along Pond Neck Road—turned out Saturday at a community update event on the project. Under bright sunshine at the Bay View boat ramp on the Chesapeake Bay, several county and state elected officials mingled with residents and discussed the project with Corps, MPA, and Cecilton officials. The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) would have to issue a water quality certification before dumping could resume at the site and the agency has a maximum of one year [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rep. Andy Harris (R-1) told Cecil County officials Friday that the liner technology proposed to seal a US Army Corps of Engineers dump in Earleville is untested and he will “insist” on monitoring of any new dumping at the site for further pollution of area waterways and wells. During a meeting in Elkton with the County Council and County Executive, Harris said that “a full liner has never been tested on this scale.” He said he would “insist” on ongoing monitoring via test wells drilled in the area to make sure that “the assumptions translate into reality.” And, paraphrasing former President Ronald Reagan’s comments on arms control, Harris said environmental officials must “trust but verify” that the Corps is not further polluting the area if dumping is resumed. The Pearce Creek dump, located at the end of Pond Neck Road and adjacent to the Elk River and the Chesapeake Bay, was closed to further deposits of shipping channel dredge spoils 20 years ago due to Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) concerns about pollution of area groundwater. An independent federal study issued last year confirmed that the dump had polluted area groundwater and local residents’ wells, including toxic contaminants such [&#8230;]]]></description>
