Department of Environment searching for missing gauge

The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) is seeking a gauge containing a small, sealed amount of radioactive material that was lost after last being seen at a campus construction site at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in Princess Anne.

The Troxler Model 3440P surface moisture density gauge, serial number 75791, was last seen in the early afternoon of July 17 at the construction site, located at 30610 College Backbone Road.

The licensee, J.D. Hynes and Associates, Inc., reported to Environment that a technician had placed the gauge on the tailgate of a truck at the site and drove to the Hynes office, located at 32185 Beaver Run Drive in nearby Salisbury, where he noticed the gauge was missing.
