		<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[EARLEVILLE—The water on the Bohemia River was calm on Wednesday, the air was breezy and US Rep. Andy Harris (R-1) had his staff-provided white rubber boots to guard against the flailing catfish that waterman Jimmy Kline harvests every day from an ingenius system of traps. “I got 1,500 pounds of catfish this morning,” Kline told the congressman, who is on a whirlwind tour of his mostly Eastern Shore district while Congress is in its summer recess. Harris has been going on a lot of boats lately in his largely water-based district, working crab trotlines with his son earlier in the week on the lower Shore, as he talks to watermen about the problems they face. Harris is a member of the House Natural Resources Committee, which oversees water and fishery issues. Kline told a fascinating story of a waterman’s ingenuity, telling Harris how he harvests live catfish every day and delivers them to ‘buyers’ who in turn place the live fish in oxygenated tanks for re-sale to markets and to state agencies looking to re-populate streams and rivers with live catfish. And, in an intriguing measure of entrepeneurship, Kline said he drives his own refrigerated truck up to the Mott [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An environmental group has asked the Cecil County Commissioners to assume ownership of a 72 acre pond and land on Mill Lane in Earleville as part of a long-stalled environmental project. But a Cecil Times review found the county could be on the hook for as yet unknown costs and a state grant that was said to be in the offing to buy the property is not on the state’s radar screen. Rob Etgen, director of the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy, on Tuesday outlined a plan to restore an offshoot of Scotchman’s Creek that was damaged when a dam and roadway collapsed after Hurricane Floyd in 1999. The project involves multiple state and federal agencies and a federal plan adopted in 2008 estimates the costs of the project&#8211; to allow fish to migrate more freely through a 1,000-foot passageway&#8211; at $543,710. But that doesn’t cover the costs of acquiring about 25 acres of privately owned land adjacent to and below the pond area around Mill Lane, land which has changed hands –for prices as high as $850,000&#8211; multiple times in the past four years and is now owned by a Delaware investment group, according to state property records. Without some [&#8230;]]]></description>
