Eagles took care of some business earlier this week they signed sam bradford the quarterback to new twoyear contract. Well today it was bradfords turn to answer questions on why he wanted to come back. Sean bell is in the newsroom with more. Sean . Iain, its probably a situation where these two sides had nowhere else to go. Eagles didnt have better option, bradford wasnt going to get 22 mill guaranteed anywhere else. So bradford and the eagles stuck with each other for at least two more years. Bradford was never a lock to come back to philly for a second season. With the stats he was pretty okay. They have hundred yards, 19tds but the eagles didnt go anywhere and he wasnt a star. Now, bradford is a twoyear crack, certainly not a contract that says hes your franchise quarterback. Today he talked about what that new deal is. Every year is a new year. I think youre always trying to prove yourself. Whether this deal 212 years, five years, tepp years i think you approach or i approach each year the same. I think if i go out there and continue to play the way i know i can, build on the way that i finished last year, then i think the contract thing will take care of itself. So im not really concerned with the length of the deal. Just because they have sam bradford under contract doesnt mean the quarterback situation is settled.

However, much of what you see around the Chesapeake Bay area not making it to the ground. The atmosphere is still relatively dry.

Those temperatures will be around freezing at least the first part of the day tomorrow before we see rapidly climb into the low 40s. So it is going to stick initially on the nonpaveed surfaces the car tops, the gra grass. Be mindful of that first thing tomorrow morning along with slick Road Conditions so allow extra travel time but it looks more like a nuisance system.

Other neighbors have been sick, and its like standing in front of an open can of kerosene. Reporter the u. S. Environmental protect age see assured neighbors during a meeting in may that the odors pose no immediate threat to them or the environment. But this wasnt the first or last sign of trouble. Industrial uses go back nearly a century on the triangular property at the end of harvard road. Sitting along an old railroad line, its been an Asphalt Plant and heating oil depot. The site was cleaned up during the 90s and underground storage tanks were pulled by 2002. When harvard Road Development llc led by Jeffrey Steiger walt acquired the property in marc march 2013, 8 homes were proposed on almost 3 acres.

Township Officials Say that contractor was actually doing work for them and its believed what he pick up was actually cleaned fill. But they headed it hauled back to be safe. Then in november, more trouble. Neighbors saw a construction crew pumping water through a silt or filter bag apparently to remove sediment. Video showed the water running into the tributary of a nearby creek. The state department of Environmental Protection opened an investigation. But couldnt immediately say what happened. Thats an enforcement act thats confidential at this point. Reporter so youre investigating that for a possible penalty for what happened there. Correct. Reporter last week we opened the Property Owner Harvard Seven was hit with a 5,500 fine by the state.

In a site characterization Harvard Seven appears to have been surprised by the environmental problems at the site writing it had no information that suggested the conditions that were ultimately encountered. But they claim to be moving ahead. Thousands of tons of material including tar impacted soils have been removed. One home is standing but its not finished or occupied. Five others are under agreement of sale. The dep warns Harvard Seven needs to remediate.

Reporter residents may get some answers. They want to know more about suspected cole ash captured in photos take by the dep in january.

Where is the smell coming from . Is that dangerous for my wife and my children .
