This partial deletion pertains to the soil portion of the Site. The groundwater will remain on the NPL and is not being considered for deletion as part of this action.

These comments have been placed in both the docket at www.regulations.gov (EPA–HQ– SFUND–1986–0005) and in the repositories listed above. EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not preclude further remedial action. Whenever there is a significant release from a site deleted from the NPL, the deleted site may be restored to the NPL without application of the hazard ranking system. Deletion of portions of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability, in the unlikely event that future conditions warrant further actions.
