Location

Ft. McAllister Marina, near Savannah, Georgia

Contaminants Treated

Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylenes, MTBE

SITUATIONAL SUMMARY

The location of the site required site treatment at or near In-Stream Water Quality Standards (ISWQS). Klozur® CR was selected to treat the impacted groundwater in order to meet the stringent goals.  Prior to injection, BTEX was detected in excess of 44,000 μg/L, with benzene detected as high as 3,280 μg/L.

RESULTS

Post injection results showed significant reduction in dissolved benzene/total BTEX. A No Further Action was received from the Georgia EPD in November 2010, with site closure achieved after only one injection.
