Maryland Department of the Environment recorded an inspection finding that required dust controls were not being implemented at Quantum Maryland and requested supporting compliance information. The company's consultant later described its controls and proposed further measures. This is an agency inspection record and a separate company response, not measured public exposure or a verified later closure.
Record status: Unknown. The later agency compliance determination and present outcome are unknown in this bounded review. An information request, company description of controls and future monitoring commitments do not establish agency closure, measured exposure or current compliance.

Maryland Department of the Environment notified Quantum Maryland that it was referring reported site violations for Attorney General enforcement. An earlier letter withdrew conditional approval of a utility-work environmental plan and cited unapproved work and groundwater discharge. These are historical agency actions, not a verified filed lawsuit, current campus shutdown or measured environmental harm.
Record status: Unknown. The current enforcement disposition and status of the specific historical plan action are unknown in this bounded review. Referral does not establish a filed court case, awarded penalty, current shutdown or final compliance outcome. Later separately listed plan approvals do not by themselves resolve this record.
