However, the main factor that is contributing to flooding in the McGirts Creek floodplain is not Site related; the construction of dams by beavers in McGirts Creek is responsible for flooding problems in the area. In the past, the beaver dams were removed by the Site contractors as a courtesy, but has never been part of the actual OM&M Plan requirements. The beaver dam issue has been communicated to the residences of the surrounding neighborhood and the residents are responsible for taking any action to remove beaver dams in the future. Determination That the Site Meets the Criteria for Deletion in the NCP The implemented remedy achieves the degree of cleanup and protection specified in the RODs for the Site for all pathways of exposure. The selected remedy at the Site is protective of human health and the environment because all exposure pathways that could result in unacceptable risks are being controlled. Contamination remaining onsite is being contained to the capped portion. The barrier walls were designed and constructed to contain the contamination and prevent any lateral or vertical movement of groundwater in or out of the containment area; ICs are in place in the form of land and groundwater use restrictions. These ICs are in the form of a Declaration of Restrictive Covenant executed between FDEP and the City of Jacksonville. This IC was executed on the 2nd of February 2011, and restricts activities on the property and the future use of the property. All selected remedial and removal actions, remedial action objectives, and associated cleanup goals are consistent with the EPA policy and guidance; the EPA has followed the procedures required by 40 CFR 300.425(e) and these actions, objectives and goals have all been achieved and, therefore, no further Superfund response is needed to protect human health and the environment. daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 300 Environmental protection, Air pollution control, Chemicals, Hazardous substances, Hazardous waste, Intergovernmental relations, Penalties, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Superfund, Water pollution control, Water supply.
