March Point Landfill aka Whitmarsh Landfill

March Point landfill lagoon - Nov. 15, 2007

SITE DESCRIPTION

The March Point Landfill, sometimes called the Whitmarsh Landfill, operated from 1950 to 1973. It initially served as an unregulated dump, and later as a county disposal area. Household, commercial, and industrial wastes were dumped at the Site. Marine sediment samples show contamination from metals, phthalates, phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dioxins, and furans. Surface and seep samples from the landfill show contamination from metals (including arsenic, lead, copper, and mercury), petroleum compounds, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Snow Mountain Company currently operates a sawmill on the Site. Further study is necessary to fully characterize the contamination at the Marsh Point Landfill.
