other unit data reported to EPA under
the Acid Rain Program since, in
submitting the data under the program,
a source’s Designated Representative
has already certified the accuracy of the
data. However, we will consider any
objections. For example, a source’s
Designated Representative may provide
evidence that we improperly calculated
heat input at the unit level, where the
heat input was actually measured at
another location (such as a common
stack). As a further example, a source’s
Designated Representative may
demonstrate that the data provided in
today’s NODA are not consistent with
the data reported to EPA for compliance
with the Acid Rain Program. In that
case, the objector should explain why
the data values in EPA’s data files are
incorrect and should document and
explain the new data values.
Similarly, in general, we do not
anticipate revisions to data reported to
EIA since such data were submitted to
meet regulatory reporting requirements.
However, we will consider any
objections to the data as reported, as
well as any calculation in which we
used the data for purposes of today’s
NODA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ICP
Site, a former chrome plating facility, is
located in a predominantly residential
neighborhood on the southeast corner of
NE 62nd Avenue and NE Hassalo Street
in Portland, Oregon. In July 2001, EPA
was requested by the Oregon
Department of Environmental Quality
(ODEQ) to conduct a time-critical
removal action at the Site due to
evidence of chrome plating wastes
having leaked onto the ground and into
the subsurface at the Site. When EPA
began the removal action on August 27,
2001, there were chromium and leadcontaminated soils, plating wastes, and
other hazardous substances at the Site.
In order to get at the subsurface
contamination, the buildings at the Site
had to be torn down. Removal of the ICP
building, liquid wastes, and soils was
completed at the end of November 2001.
Soils were excavated to a maximum
depth of 20 feet below grade.
Approximately 4,000 gallons of chromic

acid was pumped from on-site dip tanks
and holding tanks to a tanker truck and
delivered to Burlington Environmental
in Kent, Washington, for proper
disposal. Another 100 gallons and 500
pounds of hazardous substances
including paint wastes, corrosive
liquids, mercury, and PCB wastes were
packed and transported to Philip
Services, Incorporated, in Washington
state. The excavation resulted in 4,718
tons of hazardous wastes shipped to
U.S. Ecology in Grand View, Idaho, and
1,098 tons of special waste delivered to
the Waste Management Hillsboro,
Oregon, landfill. A protective asphalt
cap was placed over the entire Site to
prevent surface water infiltration. The
settlement requires payment of
$66,000.00, an amount equal to the fair
market value of the real property owned
by ICP, which is the only asset of ICP,
a defunct Oregon corporation. ICP has
proposed to sell this property in order
to pay the settlement amount. In
addition, the settlement requires (and
ICP has already placed) a deed notice on
the title to the Site property. This deed
notice notifies all owners of this
property of the need to maintain the
integrity of the asphalt cap, and of the
need to contact the ODEQ if the
property owner decides to build on the
Site or otherwise puncture or destroy
the asphalt cap. ODEQ has issued a
conditional ‘‘No Further Action’’ letter
for the Site conditioned upon, among
other things, the property owner
maintaining the integrity of the cap.
