Summary
This report presents findings from an analysis of historical aerial photographs of the Andrews Air Forces Base and Davidsonville Transmitter study areas located in Prince Georges and Anne Arundel Counties, Maryland. The Andrews Air Force Base study area is located south of Forestville and east of Camp Springs in Prince Georges county. There are 30 sites within the Andrews Air Force Base study area. The aerial extent of the study area is approximately 448 hectares (1,106 acres). The Davidsonville Transmitter study area is located north of U.S. Route 50-301 and east of the Patuxent River in Anne Arundel County. The aerial extent of the study area is approximately 142 hectares {352 acres). Black-and-white and color infrared photographs used to analyze the two study areas: Andrews AFB photos span from 1937 to 1997 and Davidsonville Transmitter photos span from 1963 to 1997. The purpose of this analysis is to document landscape morphology, patterns of waste disposal, and other environmentally significant activities and conditions at the Andrews Air Force Base and the off-base Davidsonville Transmitter study areas. Findings from the analyses are presented in two volumes; Volume 1 contains text and Volume 2 contains digitally produced photographic prints with accompanying analysis overlays.
Identified features included pits, pipes, ground scars, light- and dark-toned materials, solid waste, fill materials, debris, cleared areas, vehicles, trenches, earth-covered bunkers, pump stations, open storage areas, vertical and horizontal tanks, drums, junk, drainage channels, equipment storage, impoundments, depressions, former building foundations, and mounds of material.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Environmental Sciences Division, Landscape Ecology Branch in Las Vegas, Nevada, prepared this report for the EPA Region 3 Hazardous Waste Management Division in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the EPA Office of Emergency and Remedial Response in Washington, D.C.
