THE PRESENTATION FROM PUBLIC MEETING AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD.
The EE/CA is available for download below as is the Fact Sheet.
The Site is a partially wooded lot, including wetlands and shore, which was formerly an unpermitted dump. Currently, there are several small structures and numerous old vehicles such as cars, trucks and boats located on the Site. The Site’s historical usage as a salvage/dump/landfill operation resulted in the improper storage and disposal of hazardous substances and the consequent release of these hazardous substances into the environment. Assessments conducted of the Site between 1985 and 2005 by EPA and the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) indicate that concentrations of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), metals, PCBs, and pesticides in soil and sediment exceed various risk-based screening levels. PCBs and lead are the primary contaminants of concern due to their extreme concentrations.
