		<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[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[The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) has issued a six-month permit to the US Army Corps of Engineers to allow renewed dumping of shipping channel dredge spoil at the Pearce Creek site the Corps owns in southern Cecil County. But dumping could not resume until construction begins on a seven-mile water pipeline from the Town of Cecilton to serve Earleville residents whose wells were polluted by the dump. The state agency dismissed several concerns and requests from local residents, including calls for the provision of free bottled water from the time dumping resumed until the Cecilton waterline was fully operational. Such issues were “beyond the scope” of MDE’s authority or procedures for issuing the permit. But the permit is conditional upon eventual completion of the Cecilton pipeline and further limits the onset of new dumping to coincide with the start of the pipeline’s construction. Cecilton Mayor Joseph Zang, who initiated the concept of the water pipeline and worked to convince Corps and state officials of its feasibility, told Cecil Times that he anticipates construction could begin in the summer, before the Corps expects to resume dumping at Pearce Creek. So that condition of the state permit could be met, [&#8230;]]]></description>
