		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT Residents of three Earleville communities, who have been fighting for decades to get state and federal agencies to resolve well water pollution caused by a federal dredge spoil dumpsite, will now get free bottled water after the federal Centers for Disease Control recently raised alarm bells about high manganese levels even in homes with water treatment systems. Elevated levels of manganese in drinking water have been shown in a Canadian study to lower children’s IQ and brain function while neurological damage similar to Parkinson’s disease has been found in older adults. A community meeting was hastily scheduled for Saturday 5/28/16, at 10 a.m. at Bohemia Manor High School, on Route 213 in Chesapeake City. Attending will be representatives of the CDC, Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE), the Cecil County Health Department, and the US Army Corps of Engineers, which owns the Pearce Creek dumpsite located at the end of Pond Neck Road. Bottled water is expected to be available at the meeting for residents of the West View Shores, Sunset Pointe, and Bayview Estates communities whose wells have been polluted by the dump. There are still many unanswered questions, such as why it took [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Residents of three Earleville area communities told state environmental officials Saturday 9/27/14 that they must receive safe, clean drinking water before the US Army Corps of Engineers gets possible state approval for resumed dumping at its nearby Pearce Creek site, which has polluted area aquifers and drinking water wells. About 100 area residents attended the meeting at Cecilton Elementary School, during which state, federal and Cecilton town officials outlined the process for re-opening the dumpsite and a proposal to run a pipeline about eight miles from the town of Cecilton and hooking up existing homes to the municipal water system. The three communities affected by the dump, located at the end of Pond Neck Road, are West View Shores, Bay View Estates and Sunset Pointe. Citizens demanded immediate provision of bottled water by the Corps until the pipeline is completed; assurances of full repair of private community roads that would be dug up to install pipes; monitoring of future water quality in the area—including beaches adjacent to the dump area—if dumping is renewed; and speeding up the construction timetable for the water line to coincide with any renewed dumping at Pearce Creek. (The Cecil County Health Department stopped monitoring the [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earleville residents whose water wells have been polluted by a federal dredge spoil dumpsite will get their chance to weigh in on a proposal to renew dumping at the site at a state public hearing next week, as the Cecil County Council supported demands by local residents that free bottled water be provided by federal officials until a permanent solution to the water problem is in place. Residents of the three affected communities—West View Shores, Bay View Estates and Sunset Pointe—received letters dated 9/11/14 from the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) announcing a public hearing on a “water quality certification” permit requested by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The hearing will be held on Saturday, 9/27/14, beginning at 9:30 a.m., at Cecilton Elementary School. MDE blocked further dumping at the Pearce Creek dumpsite, located at the end of Pond Neck Road, more than 20 years ago due to concerns about possible pollution of groundwater in the areas. Those concerns were confirmed by an independent in-depth study by the US Geological Survey, released in early 2013, that found extensive pollution of local aquifers by the dump. The Maryland Port Administration (MPA) has waged a high-profile campaign to renew dumping [&#8230;]]]></description>
