Underground Storage Tank Location and Mapping of Former Landfills by Electromagnetic Surveys for the Delaware National Guard

Abstract

The Delaware Army National Guard tasked the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) to provide electromagnetic surveys to identify possible subsurface metallic features at various locations at the New Castle Rifle Range, New Castle, DE and at the Bethany Beach, Delaware National Guard Training Base. Surveys were conducted using multi-frequency electromagnetic profilers to induce eddy currents and measure the resultant secondary fields, giving an average conductivity value for the affected search volume. Images were generated from the data using commercial spread-sheet and mapping software. This report presents the results of the electromagnetic surveys conducted to locate subsurface metallic features at the two sites.
