to delete this site from the N ational P riorities L ist (NPL)

.

The US Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) issued an Explanation

o f Significant Difference for this site on June 20, 2016 that provides for the

implementation of se v e r al Inst i tut i onal C ont r o l s ( I C s) i nt e n d ed t o p r e v e n t hu m an

The Villa g e o f Mineo l a S u perint e nd e nt o f B uildin g s was sent a letter on June 20,

2016, informing the Village o f the n e ed for t he EPA and D EC to r ece i v e n ot i f i cat i o n o f

p l a n n ed occu p ancy or r ede v e l op m ent o f t h e p r ope r t y. On July 27 , 2016 Notices of

Successors in Title were filed for the Jackson Steel prop erty and the adjacent property

on Herricks Road currently occupied by a daycare center

. These notices are needed so

th a t a v apor i nt r us i o n e v a l uat i on a nd / or m i t i g at i on, as ne e d e d, i s a d d r essed w i th

app r op ri a te o v e r s i g ht should a p l a n n ed occu p ancy or r ede v e l op m ent o f t h e Jackson

Steel p r ope r t y be contemplated, or a change in ownership of the daycare propert y occurs

.EPA w ill ensure that an E n v ir onme n tal Ea sem e nt for the Jackson Steel p r o pe r t y is

recorded once site o w ne r sh i p i s r eso lv ed

.

A final inspection of the Jackson Steel sit e took place on July 13, 2016. The

aboveground I n S itu V apor E xtraction (ISVE) infrastructure was removed by EPA in June

2013. From March to April 19, 2016, the groundwater monitoring wells, ISVE wells, vapor

monitoring wells, I n S itu C hemical O xidation (ISCO) injection wells and ISCO monitor ing

wells were decommissioned. Well casings from the Westbay systems were removed from

the site in July 2016.

D EC con c u r s t hat all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been

completed at the Site and deletion from the NPL is appropriate. As site management is

still required and the project lead will be transitioning to the DEC, the D EC intends to

initiate the reclassification process Registry class 2 to class 4 (i.e.

, site properly closed

but requires continued site management consisting of operation, maintenance and/or

monitoring )

.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact
