		<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[The Maryland Port Administration (MPA) and the US Army Corps of Engineers foresee a timeline of four to seven years before several hundred Earleville homes whose wells have been polluted by a shipping channel dredge spoil dumpsite finally get clean, safe water piped in from the town of Cecilton, according to documents presented at a meeting of state, federal and Cecil County officials last week. But the MPA and the Corps want to resume dumping of new dredge spoils at the Pearce Creek dumpsite next year—many years before the local residents get reliably safe drinking water. The meeting, held at the Corps offices in Chesapeake City, was notable because it was one of the first sessions at which representatives of the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) were present and discussing with state, federal and county officials concerns about the residents’ water issues caused by the federal dumpsite. (Cecil Times was the only media representative present for the meeting.) MDE holds the trump card in the matter, since the Corps cannot re-open the Pearce Creek dump—closed to new dumping for over 20 years due to groundwater pollution concerns—unless MDE grants a “water quality” permit. MDE has previously notified MPA and [&#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>
