		<description><![CDATA[For over 20 years, Earleville residents living near a federal shipping channel dredge spoil dumpsite fought for recognition, accountability and an immediate solution for pollution of their drinking water wells. Finally, on Saturday 5/28/16, they got an apology, free bottled water, and the concerned attention of Gov. Larry Hogan’s administration, represented by the Secretary of the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE). But the polluters-in-chief—the US Army Corps of Engineers—were nowhere to be seen or heard at a hastily called community meeting at Bohemia Manor High School in Chesapeake City to discuss recently disclosed high levels of manganese in both untreated wellwater and water treated with home filtration systems. The high levels of manganese—which has been linked to neurological and brain damage in young children in multiple studies and neurological problems in older adults in some research—were recorded by the Cecil County health department in 2013 and 2014 well tests, and forwarded to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in mid-2014 for review. But the federal agency only responded, with alarm bells about the manganese levels in local well tests, a few weeks ago.

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore told a standing room only crowd of about 200 citizens Tuesday evening that her administration will not abandon the Stemmer’s Run boat ramp in Earleville and she will seek state grant funds to build a breakwater, at an unknown cost, in the adjacent Elk River to protect the ramp. It was a public about-face from the earlier presentation to the County Council by her administration that it was considering not renewing a free lease with the state that expires in December. Clyde VanDyke, the county parks and recreation director, had said he was reluctant to spend the $5,000 currently spent per year to mow grassy areas near the ramps, pier and parking lot. After an outpouring of support for continued operations of the boat ramp from local residents and boaters for one of only three public ramps operated by the county, County Council members said they had been privately assured that the ramp would remain open and the lease renewed. But the county administration did not provide a public statement to that effect, and scheduled the meeting for Tuesday evening at the Parklands community meeting room in Cecilton, after moving the site from the tiny [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<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>
