Recent analytical results provided in the Third Quarter FY2006 report for the Expedited Response Action, Reporting Period April 2006 through June 2006 indicated that contaminant levels in all sampled monitoring wells were below the action levels established in the ROD. ycherry on PROD1PC64 with RULES Operation and Maintenance The ERA systems design specifications and operation and maintenance plans are described in the February 29, 1988, report, Treatment Plant Facility Operations and Maintenance Manual for the Expedited Response Action, Waverly Groundwater Contamination Site, Waverly, Nebraska. In November 1988, Argonne National Laboratory was contracted by the CCC/ USDA to manage the Site, continue sampling, and operate/maintain the ERA systems. The basic operation of the systems has not changed since they were first installed. However, a number of modifications and additions were made by Argonne to improve the systems’ effectiveness and to facilitate operation. These changes were described in Argonne’s 1991 Final Work Plan: Expedited Remedial Action, Waverly Contaminated Groundwater Site, Waverly, Nebraska. The sampling and analysis program required monthly and quarterly sampling and analysis of groundwater for carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) and chloroform (CHCL3). Data were used to track the overall progress toward Site cleanup and to monitor potential offsite migration of contaminated groundwater. Cleanup progress was determined by comparing the measured contaminant concentrations of the environmental samples to specific target concentrations or action levels for CCL4 and CHCL3 as described in the ROD. Since the cleanup levels described in the ROD have been achieved, routine O&M is no longer required. However, groundwater sampling at compliance points described in the ROD will continue until the final Five-Year Review is conducted in 2009. Five-Year Review CERCLA requires a Five-Year Review of all Sites with hazardous substances remaining above health-base levels for unrestricted use of the Site. The third Five-Year Review report was completed on September 2, 2004, pursuant to CERCLA 121(c) and to § 300.430(f)(4)(ii) of the NCP. The conclusion of this FiveYear Review assessment was that the remedial action in operation at the Site VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:03 Sep 18, 2006 Jkt 208001 at that time was protective of human health and the environment. However, hazardous substances and pollutants remained onsite at levels above the compliance levels outlined in the ROD. Sampling activities completed soon after the 2004 Five-Year Review was released found contamination levels in all of the compliance points described in the ROD had been achieved. Recent analytical results provided in the Third Quarter FY2006 report for the Expedited Response Action, Reporting Period April 2006 through June 2006 indicated that contaminant levels in all sampled monitoring wells continue to be below the action levels established in the ROD. Another five-year review report is scheduled for 2009. Community Involvement The EPA published its Community Relations Plan in January 1986. An information repository was established at the Waverly City Hall and all of the documents used to make decisions related to the remedial action were placed there before the ROD was signed. All other reports and fact sheets were sent to the repository as they were completed. Documents in the Deletion Docket on which EPA relied for recommendation of the deletion from the NPL are available to the public in the information repositories. A public notice for this action will also be published in the local newspapers. V. Applicable Deletion Criteria One of the three 40 CFR 300.425(e)(1)(i) criteria for site deletion specifies that EPA may delete a Site from the NPL if, ‘‘Responsible parties or other persons have implemented all appropriate response actions required.’’ The EPA, with the concurrence of the state of Nebraska, has determined that all appropriate responses by the Responsible Parties have been completed and that no further response actions are necessary. State Concurrence In a letter dated August 24, 2006, Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality concurred with the proposed deletion of the Site from the NPL.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Cedartown Industries, Inc., Cedartown, Polk County, Georgia. A Notice
