		<description><![CDATA[NEWS ANALYSIS Gov. Larry Hogan and Exelon announced on Monday (10/29/2019) a settlement of a longstanding feud over federal licensing for continued operations of the Conowingo Dam in Cecil County, with $200 million invested over 50 years in the Susquehanna River and Upper Bay areas for water quality improvements. But the deal, which will clear the way for issuing a new license for the dam, does little if anything to remove the huge stockpile of leaking sediment behind the dam that has contributed to major pollution of the upper Chesapeake Bay. The agreement, hashed out after several years of intermittent feuding between the state and Exelon Generation Company, the dam’s owner, is good news for eels that will be able to slither through the dam to the Susquehanna River with greater ease. And a whole new population of mussels will be dancing in their shells in a new mussel hatchery that will be created on Exelon-owned land along the Susquehanna. The new $25 million mussel project, including land value, is expected to capitalize on the creatures’ water filtration abilities to help reduce existing water pollution. Gov. Hogan said the mussel project would include creation of a “state of the art” [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<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>
