Evaluation of Activity-Based Sampling Results from Camp Moshava at Minefields Asbestos Site Street, Maryland

摘要

Camp Moshava has operated on this 262-acre site since 1985.1 In the late 1800s and early 1900s, an active mine operated on a portion of the site, producing talc, asbestos, and chromium. The US Geological Survey identified the site as one of 22 asbestos occurrences, former mines, or former prospects in Maryland.2 The former mine workings are largely overgrown, and the former mine pit, dammed by an area of tailings, has filled with water to form a pond used for swimming activities. The pond and former mine are a quarter of a mile or more from the main camp area.
