		<description><![CDATA[Maryland Governor Larry Hogan is convening a top-level task force to seek solutions to pollution of the Chesapeake Bay caused by sediment build-up behind the Conowingo Dam in Cecil County, including possible costly dredging. The governor’s action underscored the clout that the state has through its environmental review powers that could delay or block pending re-licensing of the dam by a federal agency. Hogan’s announcement on Thursday came as part of a three-day whirlwind tour of Harford, Cecil and Kent counties on the Upper Shore, a visit that saw him eating ice cream in Rising Sun, dining with county and town officials in Port Deposit, and presiding over a ribbon-cutting for an expansion of a high-tech mushroom farm in Warwick. He also mingled with donors at a political fundraiser in Charlestown for his expected re-election campaign in 2018. “We must address the sediment issue which has been ignored and left unresolved” for years, Hogan said, adding that his administration has been “working tirelessly” to find solutions to pollution of the Chesapeake Bay. But those efforts, he said, “could easily be wiped out by the effects of one really bad storm.” The Susquehanna River is the largest river feeding the Bay, [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[State Sen. Nancy Jacobs (R-Harford/Cecil) peered out the window of a mini-bus crossing the Conowingo Dam Thursday and exclaimed, “where’s all the usual debris—they must have scooped it up…did they know we were coming?” But the real problem with the dam is invisible and far below the surface of the Susquehanna River: tons of backed-up sediment that is released into the Chesapeake Bay when floodgates are opened, especially during storms. Jacobs, along with Cecil County officials, took top state environmental regulators on a bus trip to make their point that the privately-owned dam is a major source of pollution of the Chesapeake Bay. And that multi-state problem must be cleaned up first, they argued, before downstream counties in Maryland are forced to spend millions on state-mandated pollution fixes. While conceding that the Susquehanna—which originates in New York and flows through Pennsylvania before reaching Maryland—is responsible for at least half of the pollutants entering the Bay, the state officials were un-moved. “It’s not just about the Bay,” said Robert Summers, Secretary of the Maryland Department of the Environment. Streams, reservoirs and “the future of our drinking water in the state” all require additional steps to curb pollution from stormwater runoff, septic [&#8230;]]]></description>
