		<description><![CDATA[A Cecil Times Special Report The US Army Corps of Engineers and state officials hosted a tented open house at the Corps dumpsite in Earleville Saturday to answer residents’ questions and show plans for cleaning up the dump that a federal study concluded had polluted local drinking water wells. But some residents questioned the plans and a recent letter that suggested homeowners might have to pay as much as $3,000 a year to get safe drinking water to replace wellwater contaminated by the Corps. “Is this a scare tactic by ACE [the Corps] or someone else or persons so the folks will reject the community water system,” Bill Haines, president of the Bay View Estates homeowners’ association, wrote in a recent email to state and county officials. The Corps and the Maryland Port Administration (MPA), who want to re-open the dumpsite to additional deposits of shipping channel dredge spoils, should “stop playing games,” Haines added. Meanwhile, a new chart presented on Saturday suggesting potential costs of a new water system to local residents, raises questions about the methodology used by a quasi-private, state-established agency— an agency that could have a potential conflict of interest. Also in question is why the [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[State and federal officials were enthusiastic at a meeting Wednesday about the prospects of running a water pipeline from the town of Cecilton to several communities along Pond Neck Road in Earleville, where drinking water wells have been polluted by the nearby US Army Corps of Engineers dumpsite. Cecilton Mayor Joseph Zang said he and members of the Town Council liked the idea as well, since it could help reduce water costs for town residents. And for Earleville residents affected by the pollution of their homes’ water wells by the federal dumpsite, Cecilton water would give them clean, clear water that was rated “best tasting water” in a 2008 competitive municipal water taste-test. Mayor Zang and the town’s planner/engineer met Wednesday with representatives of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Maryland Environmental Service, and the Maryland Port Administration at a small roundtable session at Cecilton’s town hall. (Cecil Times was the only media representative present at the meeting.) The issue stems from a recent independent federal study that found the Corps’ Chesapeake Bay shipping channel dredge spoil dumpsite on Pond Neck Road in Earleville was responsible for polluting many nearby residents’ drinking water wells. The Corps, and the Maryland [&#8230;]]]></description>
