(WESTON®) to perform a non-intrusive Geophysical Investigation at the Dwyer Property Groundwater Superfund Site (Site) in Elkton, Cecil County, Maryland. The purpose of the investigation was to conduct UXO avoidance and surface anomaly investigation at the Former Dump Area. In addition, to provide subsurface information necessary to characterize the potential for buried materials identified in and around suspected disposal pits and trenches associated with the Former Dump Area. The primary objectives were to; 1) Map and attempt identify the footprint (lateral extent and boundary) of the suspected fill; and, 2) Locate and map subsurface anomalies (targets) potentially containing disposal materials (i.e. metallic debris, drums and other facility waste). The investigation was performed on an approximate 1.13 acre portion of the Site; the Area of Investigation (AOI). The AOI encompasses the Former Dump Area, as defined by a map provided by Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) personnel familiar with the Site. According to MDE personnel, the Former Dump Area is suspected to contain buried Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) and/or munitions. The AOI and Former Dump Area are depicted on Figure 3, Geophysical Area of Investigation, Appendix A. Field activities consisted of UXO surface avoidance to identify and mark surficial metallic objects within the investigation area. In addition, WESTON performed an electromagnetic survey of the subsurface using a Geonics Electromagnetic Terrain conductivity meter (EM-31). This trip report presents Site background information in Section 2.0; summarizes field activities, geophysical instrumentation and methodology in Section 3.0; summarizes the electromagnetic survey results in Section 4.0; and, presents conclusions and recommendations in Section 5.0. All 1 AR100279 Dwyer Property Groundwater Superfund Site Elkton, Cecil County, Maryland Final Trip Report – Geophysical Investigation references cited in this Trip Report are listed in Section 6.0. Figures are provided in Appendix A. Tables are provided in Appendix B. 2.0 BACKGROUND This section describes the Site location, presents a description of the Site, discusses the Site history, and describes previous investigations conducted at the Site. 2.1 SITE LOCATION The Site is located within the city of Elkton, in Cecil County, Maryland, as shown in Figure 1, Site Location Map, Appendix A. The Site is located immediately northeast of the intersection of Maryland Route 545/Blue Ball Road and Maryland Route 279/Newark Avenue. The total area of the Site is approximately 73 acres. The geographic coordinates of the approximate center of the Site are 39.61648° north latitude and 75.84404° west longitude. 2.2 SITE DESCRIPTION The majority of the Site is undeveloped land, either as forest or open fields. Land use adjacent to the Site is undeveloped to the north, with residential and commercial beyond; residential and commercial to the east; commercial, industrial, and agricultural to the south; and industrial to the west. Dogwood Run flows to the southwest along the western portion of the Site into Little Elk Creek. The Rudy Park Public Housing Project and associated recreational area (playground) are located adjacent to the southeast of the Site. Maryland Route 279/ Newark Ave borders the Site to the south. Maryland Route 545/Blue Ball Road borders the Site to the west. The Site and adjacent properties are depicted in Figure 2, Site Layout Map, Appendix A. 2.3 SITE HISTORY The Site was used for agricultural purposes prior to 1933. In 1933, the Site was purchased by Triumph Fuse and Fireworks Company and used to produce signal flares, fireworks, and various munitions and trinitrotoluene-based explosives (MDE fact sheet). Materials used at this plant included powdered metals, perchlorate, chlorate mixes, barium nitrate, charcoal, sulfur, sulfur 2 AR100280 Dwyer Property Groundwater Superfund Site Elkton, Cecil County, Maryland Final Trip Report – Geophysical Investigation mixes, saltpeter, carbon tetrachloride, hexachlorobenzene, alcohol, picric acid, stearine, dextrin, and potassium perchlorate). The munitions and explosives production continued through World War II as Triumph Fuse and Fireworks Company continued to service both the Army and Navy operations (EPA 2010). In 1946, the Bowers Battery and Spark Plug Company purchased the Site and used the land to manufacture

There are many unusual elements of the boundaries including a circular boundary that it shares with three other states.

Preliminary scores for the surface water migration, air migration, and soil exposure pathways indicated minimal contribution of these to the overall site score; therefore, these pathways have not been included in this HRS documentation record. The surface water migration pathway ground water to surface water component score was low due to the lack of hazardous substances with high bioaccumulation factor values. Additionally, an overland runoff pathway likely does not exist. The lack of documented observed contamination and resident targets limit the soil exposure pathway scores. No observed release to the air has been documented within a 4-mile radius of the ground water plume. Surface Water Overland Migration Pathway The surface water pathway was not scored. The ground water pathway was sufficient to list the site. Soil Exposure Pathway The soil exposure pathway was not scored. The ground water pathway was sufficient to list the site. Air Migration Pathway The air migration pathway was not scored. The ground water pathway was sufficient to list the site.
