the comment includes information
claimed to be Confidential Business

captured and included as part of the

docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic
comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact
information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD–ROM
you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification,
EPA may not be able to consider your
comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters, any form
of encryption, and be free of any defects
or viruses. For additional information

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY
[FRL–8264–6]
Fort Ord Superfund Site; Proposed
Notice of Administrative Order on
Consent for Cleanup of Portions of the
Former Fort Ord
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice; request for public
comment.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a
proposed Administrative Order on
Consent (‘‘Agreement’’) concerning
portions of the Fort Ord Superfund Site
(‘‘Site’’) in Monterey, California has
been negotiated by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency
(‘‘EPA’’), the California Department of
Toxic Substances Control (‘‘DTSC’’) and
the Fort Ord Reuse Authority
(‘‘Respondent’’) subject to the final
review and approval of the EPA, DTSC
and the U.S. Department of Justice. The
proposed Agreement concerns cleanup
of portions of the Site pursuant to the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability
Act, 42 U.S.C. 9604, 9606 and 9622
(‘‘CERCLA’’). Pursuant to a Federal
Facilities Agreement (‘‘FFA’’), the U.S.
Army (‘‘Army’’) is required to perform
the CERCLA response actions for the
Site; however, the FFA will be amended
to suspend the obligations of the Army
to conduct those response actions that
will be undertaken by the Respondent
pursuant to the Agreement. The Army is
preparing a Finding of Suitability for
Early Transfer (‘‘FOSET’’), which will
be submitted to EPA Region 9, and the
State of California for their approval
after a public comment period. Upon
approval of the FOSET, the Army will
transfer portions of the Site to the
Respondent. The Army and the
Respondent will enter into an
Environmental Services Cooperative
Agreement, which will require the
Respondent to perform certain CERCLA
response actions on the transferred
portions of the Site, using grant monies
from the Army. The proposed
Agreement would require the
Respondent to prepare and perform
removal actions, one or more remedial
investigations and feasibility studies
and one or more remedial designs and
remedial actions for certain
contaminants present on the transferred
portions of the Site, under the oversight
of EPA and the State of California. The
proposed Agreement includes EPA and
DTSC covenants not to sue or to take
administrative action against the
Respondent, provided that the
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Respondent complies with all the terms
and conditions of the Agreement. The
Agreement also commits the
Respondent to reimburse direct and
indirect future response costs incurred
by EPA and DTSC in connection with
actions conducted under CERCLA at the
transferred portions of the Site.
For thirty (30) calendar days
following the date of publication of this
notice, EPA will receive written
comments relating to the proposed
Agreement. EPA’s response to any
comments received will be available for
public inspection at the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, 75
Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA
94105.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before January 29, 2007.
ADDRESSES: The proposed Agreement
may be obtained from Judith Winchell,
Docket Clerk, telephone (415) 972–3124.
Comments regarding the proposed
Agreement should be addressed to
Judith Winchell (SFD–7) at United
States EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne
Street, San Francisco, California 94105,
and should reference ‘‘Former Fort Ord
Superfund Site,’’ and ‘‘Docket No. R9–
2007–03’’.
