UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, SHORE MEDICAL CENTER AT CHESTERTOWN: GROUNDWATER REMEDIATION 2015/2016 ACTION PLAN SUMMARY REPORT
Maryland Department of the Environment, 35 pp plus 11 appendices, 2016

When a residual petroleum smear zone was revealed upon cessation of pump and treat at the Shore Medical Center, Chestertown, Maryland, the Maryland Department of Environment permitted a pilot test of the Ivey-Sol® push-pull surfactant flushing technology in July/August 2014. The success of the pilot led to approval for full-scale use of the technology in August 2015. By the 27th week of successful implementation (March 2016), the site team recommended system closeout. This report details the remediation activities and results. Reports for the Chester River Hospital Center are posted under the Kent County heading at http://www.mde.state.md.us/programs/Land/OilControl/RemediationSites/Pages/Programs/LandPrograms/Oil_Control/RemediationSites/index.aspx.
