		<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[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>

		<description><![CDATA[The US Army Corps of Engineers told the Cecil County Council and County Executive Tari Moore on Monday that the agency plans to install a “liner” or “slurry” wall to contain existing contamination of groundwater from their Pearce’s Creek dump site in Earleville. But the federal agency will not provide money to clean up area residents’ wells and the Corps’ key priority is to resume additional sludge dumping at the site. Cecil County officials served notice at the meeting that cleaning up local residents’ wells was not the county’s financial or operational problem and that the costs and responsibilities for solving the water supply contamination must be borne by those responsible for the pollution. A newly released study by the US Geological Survey found that the Corps dump site is responsible for pollution of several area aquifers and has contaminated many local homes’ water wells, especially in the West View Shores community and adjacent Bay View Estates.
