Prater & York was retained by Bank of America US Trust to provide remediation services at a petroleum release site located in Milledgeville , Georgia . The site is a former auto service operation and retail gasoline outlet.   Dissolved benzene concentrations ranging from 20,000 to 40,000 ug/L have been detected at the site.  A Corrective Action Plan (CAP) – Part B approved by the Georgia EPD USTMP provides for the utilization of In-Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO) – Enhanced Fluid Recovery (EFR) ® technology to reduce dissolved benzene concentrations at the site.  By combining the ISCO with EFR, maximum spreading of the oxidant (hydrogen peroxide) is achieved. ISCO-EFR® has proven successful in reducing dissolved benzene concentrations up to 95% at the site. Prater & York is currently implementing the groundwater remediation and monitoring on a quarterly basis.
