		<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[A majority of the Cecil County Council Tuesday questioned the handling of pollution of Earleville residents’ water wells by a US Army Corps of Engineers dumpsite, with Councilor Joyce Bowlsbey (R-2) saying that local residents were “victims” of the Corps and state officials appeared to be “hellbent” on resuming dredge spoil dumping in the area regardless of the impact on local residents. “I see them as victims,” Bowlsbey said of the Earleville residents whose drinking water has been contaminated by the Corps dumpsite on Pond Neck Road. “They are not ‘stakeholders’,” she said. “They didn’t ask for this.” Bowlsbey said it appeared to her, after attending a community meeting with Corps officials and leaders of the Maryland Port Administration (MPA) on Saturday at Bohemia Manor High School, that the state was “hellbent” on resuming dumping at the Pearce Creek site so as to protect the interests of the Port of Baltimore and continue dredging of sediment and spoils in shipping channels.
