Closure activities were initiated the week of April 29, 2013. Soil stabilization and re-vegetation of disturbed areas, including any additional tree and shrub planting, required by Item 9.3 (h) of the EPA AOC is subject to the approval of the current property owner (Episcopal Ministries to the Aging, Inc. [EMA]). It is anticipated that these activities will occur during the spring 2014 growing season to ensure establishment of healthy vegetation.
All monitoring wells, piezometers and sumps have been abandoned in accordance with the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) resulting in the cessation of monitoring and product recovery.
No problems were encountered during this reporting period.
None planned.
