		<description><![CDATA[ELKTON&#8211;State transportation officials converged on Elkton on Tuesday 9/30/14 to outline state spending priorities in Cecil County, as Transportation Secretary Jim Smith boasted of multi-agency meetings to pressure for quick approval of an environmental permit to allow resumed shipping channel dredge spoil dumping at an Earleville site that has polluted local residents’ drinking water wells. “We’re setting deadlines,” Smith said, for a decision by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) on issuing a permit for renewed dumping at the Earleville site. He said there would be “an announcement by November 21.” However, by state law, MDE has one year from the 7/1/14 date on which the US Army Corps of Engineers formally filed its application for a state water quality certification that is needed before shipping channel dredge spoils could be dumped at the Earleville site. (Dumping at the Pearce Creek site in Earleville was barred over 20 years ago by MDE due to concerns over pollution of area aquifers that serve residential water wells. An independent federal study by the US Geological Survey issued in January, 2013, confirmed that the Corps dumpsite had polluted aquifers and local residents’ water supply, including concentrations of arsenic and multiple other toxic [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Residents of three Earleville area communities told state environmental officials Saturday 9/27/14 that they must receive safe, clean drinking water before the US Army Corps of Engineers gets possible state approval for resumed dumping at its nearby Pearce Creek site, which has polluted area aquifers and drinking water wells. About 100 area residents attended the meeting at Cecilton Elementary School, during which state, federal and Cecilton town officials outlined the process for re-opening the dumpsite and a proposal to run a pipeline about eight miles from the town of Cecilton and hooking up existing homes to the municipal water system. The three communities affected by the dump, located at the end of Pond Neck Road, are West View Shores, Bay View Estates and Sunset Pointe. Citizens demanded immediate provision of bottled water by the Corps until the pipeline is completed; assurances of full repair of private community roads that would be dug up to install pipes; monitoring of future water quality in the area—including beaches adjacent to the dump area—if dumping is renewed; and speeding up the construction timetable for the water line to coincide with any renewed dumping at Pearce Creek.
