Fort Detrick Finds Contamination Extends Off Post

Researchers drilled 11 new Area B wells after early samples suggested inadequate coverage, while dyes indicated chemical migration potential from western Area B trenches. The Army funds a $500,000 investigation with groundwater, soil, and surface water tests, and Maryland officials push for an action plan and ongoing monitoring to locate contamination sources and improve site cleanup.
