ACTION: Final Notice of Partial Deletion at the Peterson/Puritan, Inc. Site from the National Priorities List. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 1 announces the partial deletion of a portion of the Peterson/Puritan, Inc.

EPA, with concurrence from the State of Rhode Island, has determined that the release impacting the Site poses no significant threat to human health or the environment at the Macklands and Berkeley properties and therefore warrants no current response action at the properties. Further, this action does not preclude the State of Rhode Island from taking any response actions under State authority, should future conditions warrant such actions. This notice of partial deletion does not alter the status of the remainder of the Peterson/Puritan, Inc. Superfund Site, which has not been proposed for deletion and thus remains on the NPL.
