		<description><![CDATA[BALTIMORE—The Maryland Port Administration pulled out the big cranes, the big cargo ships, a modest motorboat for a putt-putt water tour and a great big goose-egg zero on a chart Tuesday to try to convince Cecil County officials of the need to resume dumping shipping channel dredge spoils at the Pearce Creek dumpsite in Earleville, which a federal study found was responsible for polluting local residents’ drinking water. Without Pearce Creek, shipping in the Upper Bay and the C&#038;D Canal will cease, MPA officials claimed. The dumpsite has not been used for new deposits in 20 years due to concerns by state environmental officials about water quality problems in the area. In related developments, MPA and US Army Corps of Engineers officials held the latest of several private meetings with a limited and select group of Earleville area civic association leaders at a Chesapeake City restaurant on Monday and said the agencies would come up with their own “plan” to deal with the local drinking water contamination, sources told Cecil Times. And a key MPA official said the agency was looking toward an “on-site” water system rather than the locally popular option of piping in top-quality municipal water from the [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Cecil Times Special Report A new comprehensive study by a federal agency proves what Earleville residents have known for decades: the US Army Corps of Engineers’ dumping of shipping channel dredge spoil in Cecil County has poisoned many homes’ drinking water wells—including hugely elevated levels of arsenic, heavy metals, and sulfates. But the Corps wants to resume dumping in the area, after an unspecified ‘remediation’ effort at the Pearce’s Creek dump site. The report by the US Geological Survey (USGS) was published online on 1/17/13 [SEE detailed, scientific jargon and charts-laden report here: https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2012/5263/sir12_5263.pdf ] But its conclusions have been known in the community in broad outlines for several months. The Corps held a briefing for some “elected officials” in Elkton late last year but community activists were barred from the meeting, sources said, and several county elected officials said they were not advised in advance of the meeting. Separately, Cecil County Executive Tari Moore told Cecil Times that shortly after she assumed her office in December, representatives of the Corps and the Port of Baltimore met with her personally in a “get-acquainted” session and spoke in general terms about the then-pending report. “They said they were going to [&#8230;]]]></description>
