The Safety Kleen Corp Service
Center in Silver Spring,
Maryland began operation
in 1982 and was closed and

The site is located in Silver
Spring, Maryland, Montgomery
County, approximately 500 feet
south of the intersection of Tech
Road and U.S. Highway 29
(Columbia Pike). The former
service center was located
in an industrial park and the
surrounding area is zoned for
light industrial use and included
Approximate total acres
and current use
Approximate Acres in Reuse: 0.24

branch of the State Employees
Credit Union
an area of approximately
10,300 square feet that was
used as an accumulation point
for spent solvents and other
fluids generated by Safety Kleen
customers.
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
continues to work with the
Maryland Department of the
Environment (MDE), who is
directing the post-closure care
and cleanup activities at the
facility, to ensure that RCRA
Corrective Action goals are met.
MDE issued a Post-Closure
Permit for the area in February
2001, which was renewed
and re-issued in December
2008. MDE works with Safety
Kleen on any appropriate
modifications or revisions to the
permit as cleanup progresses.
The former service center has
been redeveloped and now
houses the offices of a branch
of the State Employees Credit
Union (SECU).in the former
warehouse building.
