Puck, you should go there. The ship channel runs so close to the shore at Fox Point you can hit ’em with a rock!

I used to live in the area, right around the time the park was opened. As I recall they had to cap off and seal a giant mound of dioxin or something before they could let people on it. It’s also a stone’s throw from the Dupont Edgemoor plant.

I helped install a 20″ pipeline to connect to the GAS-TURBINES at Delmarva through there. There was definitely some STRANGE soil.

From the state website: “Past dumping practices at Fox Point had contaminated the soil at the site.These practices included the disposal of industrial waste and the application of sewage sludge.”
I think the state had to be sued to disclose the exact nature of the industrial waste. I live close by, and most days the place looks deserted. It’s a nice piece of land with lots of potential, but so far has not lived up to it.
I’ve never been to the shoreline there but from the view I’d say Fox Point State Park.
Correct.
