Public health assessment for Ordnance Products, Incorporated, Northeast, Cecil County, Maryland, Region 3. Cerclis No. MDD982364341. Final report
Ordnance Products Inc., (OPI) was an ordnance manufacturing facility that operated from 1960 to July 1973. The OPI site has been designated as a public health hazard because exposure to contaminants in the groundwater and surface soil has occurred in the past. Major contaminants of concern include trichloroethene in residential wells, nickel and chromium in on-site soil (Area F), and antimony, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, nickel, and lead in the sediments of on-site impoundments. Exposure to contaminants in the air occurred in the past, but that exposure has been eliminated. Exposure to contaminants in off-site groundwater has been addressed with individual groundwater treatement systems. Additionally, physical hazards on-site, including buried ordnance, pose a public health hazard to employees and clients of on-site businesses and to trespassers who may gain access to the site.
