Closed Sanitary Landfill
State permitted landfill that closed under RCRA authority in the mid 90's. The landfill was one of four sites that was used to score Fort Meade for NPL listing. Sample results for the landfill have revealed elevated levels of VOCs, metals and carbon tetrachloride at the post boundary. The army installed two off-site wells in January 2004 and sampled the wells in June 2004. Sample results from the offsite wells revealed MCL exceedances for carbon tetrachloride. Army met with Anne Arundel county to discuss options for investigation and the county asked the army to provide bottled water to two residences who have priviate wells within 0.5 miles of the carbon tetracholoride exceedances. County health officials have also informed the army that their are about 160 private wells within a mile radius of the Fort Meade off-site wells. EPA and the county sampled 17 wells in April 2005 located within a 1/4 mile radius of the landfill and found low-level contamination but no risk associated with the landfill for drinking water. EPA approved human health risk assessment tables for the RI in January 2007
