AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Volpe Center is supporting the EPA’s Targeted Brownfields Assessments Program by conducting a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment at the Royal Electric Yard located at 7512 Main St, Sykesville, Maryland. This effort follows a 2026 Phase I ESA that identified historic automotive junking activities and residual debris in the northern wooded portion of the 4.1-acre site, raising concerns about potential contamination from used oils, brake and hydraulic fluids, gasoline, diesel, mercury switches, asbestos, refrigerants, metals, batteries, and antifreeze. The assessment will advance soil borings and test pits specifically within the northern half of the property—the primary area of interest due to a pending sale—to determine if hazardous substances or petroleum products have migrated into the soil and groundwater. The site features a warehouse, woodworking shed, gravel parking lot, and access road in the southern area, while the northern section is an unmaintained wooded zone with variable topography, sloping southward and composed primarily of silt-loam and loam soils, with possible fill material beneath the warehouse area. The work is being conducted under a Small Business Set Aside solicitation with the number 6913G626Q300046, issued in August 2026, with responses due by August 11, 2026, and is managed through the Volpe Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with Roland Regan designated as the primary point of contact.

Full Description
Under an Interagency Agreement, the U.S. Department of Transportation John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) is providing support to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Targeted Brownfields Assessments (TBA) Program. As part of this effort, a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) that includes a requirement for the advancement of soil borings and test pits will be conducted at the Royal Electric Yard (the Site) located at 7512 Main St, Sykesville, Maryland 21784.
A 2026 Phase I ESA conducted at the Site identified historic automotive junking activities and small, partially buried piles of automotive debris in the northern, wooded portion of the site. It was determined that there is a likely presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products associated with former automotive operations including used oils, brake and hydraulic fluids, gasoline and diesel fuels, mercury switches, asbestos brake parts, refrigerants, metals, batteries, and antifreezes. A Phase II ESA was recommended to determine if the historical activities at the Site or nearby properties have impacted the Site.
As part of this Phase II ESA, test pits and soil borings will be collected to assess any impacts from potential contaminants of concern.
The Site is an approximately 4.1-acre parcel (Maryland Tax Account Number #05- 072190) located adjacent to Sykesville’s historic main street district. Sykesville is located within Carroll County. Major features at the Site include a warehouse, adjacent woodworking shed, gravel parking lot, and access road in the southern portion, and an unmaintained wooded area in the northern portion. Due to a pending sale of the Site, the primary area of interest is limited to the northern half of the property. The Site generally slopes to the south, with the wooded area alternating between relatively flat terraces and steeper slopes. A review of the Natural Resources Conservation Service National Cooperative Soil Survey shows that the Site’s soil primarily consists of silt-loam, loam, and complexes. The area just south of the warehouse is underlain by Glenville-urban land-Udorthents complex, which indicates possible presence of fill.
