		<description><![CDATA[The US Army Corps of Engineers is refusing to provide temporary free bottled water to Earleville residents whose drinking water wells were polluted by a federal dredge spoil dumpsite, which the Corps and the Maryland Port Administration (MPA) are trying to re-open to new dumping after a 20-year hiatus due to pollution concerns. During a meeting last week at the Chesapeake City offices of the Corps that included federal and state officials involved in the issue along with residents of the three communities affected by the dump, Tony DiPasquale, with the Corps’ Philadelphia regional office, said the federal agency had decided to refuse a request by the residents—and the Cecil County Council—to provide free bottled water until a proposed municipal water pipeline from the town of Cecilton is constructed and extended some seven miles to the affected communities in Earleville. The pipeline is not expected to be in service until at least two years after the fall, 2015 date by which the Corps and MPA want to renew dumping at the Pearce Creek dumpsite owned by the Corps. But before dumping is resumed, the Corps must obtain a Water Quality Certification permit from the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE). [&#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>

		<description><![CDATA[A Cecil Times Special Report The US Army Corps of Engineers and state officials hosted a tented open house at the Corps dumpsite in Earleville Saturday to answer residents’ questions and show plans for cleaning up the dump that a federal study concluded had polluted local drinking water wells. But some residents questioned the plans and a recent letter that suggested homeowners might have to pay as much as $3,000 a year to get safe drinking water to replace wellwater contaminated by the Corps. “Is this a scare tactic by ACE [the Corps] or someone else or persons so the folks will reject the community water system,” Bill Haines, president of the Bay View Estates homeowners’ association, wrote in a recent email to state and county officials. The Corps and the Maryland Port Administration (MPA), who want to re-open the dumpsite to additional deposits of shipping channel dredge spoils, should “stop playing games,” Haines added. Meanwhile, a new chart presented on Saturday suggesting potential costs of a new water system to local residents, raises questions about the methodology used by a quasi-private, state-established agency— an agency that could have a potential conflict of interest. Also in question is why the [&#8230;]]]></description>
