		<description><![CDATA[The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) has issued a six-month permit to the US Army Corps of Engineers to allow renewed dumping of shipping channel dredge spoil at the Pearce Creek site the Corps owns in southern Cecil County. But dumping could not resume until construction begins on a seven-mile water pipeline from the Town of Cecilton to serve Earleville residents whose wells were polluted by the dump. The state agency dismissed several concerns and requests from local residents, including calls for the provision of free bottled water from the time dumping resumed until the Cecilton waterline was fully operational. Such issues were “beyond the scope” of MDE’s authority or procedures for issuing the permit. But the permit is conditional upon eventual completion of the Cecilton pipeline and further limits the onset of new dumping to coincide with the start of the pipeline’s construction. Cecilton Mayor Joseph Zang, who initiated the concept of the water pipeline and worked to convince Corps and state officials of its feasibility, told Cecil Times that he anticipates construction could begin in the summer, before the Corps expects to resume dumping at Pearce Creek. So that condition of the state permit could be met, [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT The Cecil County Health Department has refused to issue a water well permit needed to build a home in one of the Earleville communities where local aquifers were polluted by the nearby US Army Corps of Engineers dredge spoil dumpsite—a decision that could lead to a virtual building ban on area lots. The health agency ruled that water in the area was not “potable” and therefore state law required denial of a permit. The decision could decimate the property values of lots in the area and prevent construction of new homes, as well as complicating the purchase and sales of existing area homes. It was the first time that a well permit was denied due to water quality problems in the area since a landmark study by the US Geological Survey, issued in January 2013, concluded that the federal government’s dumpsite at Pearce Creek had altered underground water flow in the area and polluted many residents’ water supplies with contaminants, including arsenic and other toxics in some wells. The pollution persists despite the fact that the dump has been closed to new deposits of shipping channel dredge spoils for over 20 years due to environmental [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Maryland Port Administration, anxious to resume dumping of shipping channel dredge spoils at an Earleville site that has contaminated nearby residential water wells, has told county officials and local residents it is willing to pay for extending a waterline from the town of Cecilton. But there is a big catch: the money, and the clean water, apparently will only be made available if state environmental officials issue a water quality permit to re-open the dumpsite that has been closed to new deposits for 20 years. And inherent in that quid pro quo is pressure upon the local communities—primarily West View Shores, Bay View Estates and Sunset Point—to agree to a water deal and back down from some residents’ efforts to block resumed dumping at the Pearce Creek site, which is owned by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Cecil County Councilor Alan McCarthy (R-1) convened an informal meeting with a small group of residents from West View and Bay View on Tuesday to discuss recent discussions he has had with MPA officials in which a water line proposal was made. The MPA—which considers the Pearce Creek dumpsite crucial to future operations of the Port of Baltimore—was willing to come [&#8230;]]]></description>
