		<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[For over 20 years, Earleville residents living near a federal shipping channel dredge spoil dumpsite fought for recognition, accountability and an immediate solution for pollution of their drinking water wells. Finally, on Saturday 5/28/16, they got an apology, free bottled water, and the concerned attention of Gov. Larry Hogan’s administration, represented by the Secretary of the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE). But the polluters-in-chief—the US Army Corps of Engineers—were nowhere to be seen or heard at a hastily called community meeting at Bohemia Manor High School in Chesapeake City to discuss recently disclosed high levels of manganese in both untreated wellwater and water treated with home filtration systems. The high levels of manganese—which has been linked to neurological and brain damage in young children in multiple studies and neurological problems in older adults in some research—were recorded by the Cecil County health department in 2013 and 2014 well tests, and forwarded to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in mid-2014 for review. But the federal agency only responded, with alarm bells about the manganese levels in local well tests, a few weeks ago.

		<description><![CDATA[[With CECIL TIMES Video] The Cecil County Executive is trying to come up with a face-saving plan to justify her proposal to abandon a free state/federal lease of an Earleville boat ramp and waterfront park&#8211; because the parks director doesn’t want to spend $5,000 a year in lawn mowing costs&#8211; by claiming that the federal government wants to build a breakwater and deposit new dredge spoils at a controversial dumpsite. But the federal agency in charge says it has no interest in such a plan. A public meeting is scheduled for Tuesday evening, 10/13/15, at 6 pm at the Parklands housing complex in Cecilton, adjacent to the public library, on the county’s planned abandonment of the Stemmers Run boat ramp in Earleville, at the end of Pond Neck Road. The county has a free sub-lease from the state Department of Natural Resources, which in turn leases the waterfront site for free from the US Army Corps of Engineers. The public meeting has been quietly disclosed, via multiple and contradictory signs posted at the boat ramp and waterfront park, as well as a county website posting just a few days ago. The county administration told the County Council recently of its [&#8230;]]]></description>
