groundwater users, no surface water

impact attributable to the discharge and

the site is wholly owned by NEC.

2. The remedial objective to eliminate

the potential for contact with

contaminated soil was achieved by

placement of the excavated drainage

ditch soil in the sludge lagoon. The

excavated area was filled, graded, and

vegetated.

3. The remedial objective to eliminate

the potential for exposure to buried

contaminated soil was met by access

restriction by NEC ownership, since the

area is already capped preventing casual

exposure. A restriction in the property

deed prevents future development in

the seepage pit area.

4. The remedial objective to eliminate

contact with buried sludge and

contaminated soil was achieved by

excavation of the contaminated

materials and stabilization in the sludge

lagoon. The dump site would be

backfilled with native soil following

excavation to its former grade.

No comments were received during

the 30 day public comment period

beginning August 27, 1987. Although an

opportunity for a public meeting to

discuss the remedy selection was

provided, no interest in such a meeting

was expressed by the public.

On September 30, 1987, the Regional

Administrator approved a Record of

Decision (ROD) which selected the

following remedies:

A. Source Control. 1. Excavate and

place contaminated materials from the

drainage ditch and sludge dump site in

the sludge lagoon for solidification.

2. All contaminated materials in the

sludge lagoon would be solidified, and

the lagoon would be provided a RCRA

soil waste cover and monitored for

proper closure.

3. Restrict access and apply deed

restrictions to the seepage pit property.

B. Management of Migration. Ground

water contamination would be regulated

and monitored through the use of

alternate concentration limits (ACLs) to

be applied downgradient of the sludge

lagoon and the seepage pit.

C. Operation and Maintenance. The

cover over the sludge lagoon and the

seepage pit would be routinely

inspected and monitored. Semi-annual

groundwater sampling and analyses at

compliance monitoring wells would be

conducted.

Construction activities at the Site

were performed by NEC in accordance

with the remedy selected in the

September 30, 1987 ROD. The Remedial

Construction Activities started at the

Site on June 6, 1988. A Closeout Report

was signed September 29, 1989,

confirmatory sampling verified that the

ROD cleanup objectives have been

achieved and all cleanup actions

specified in the ROD have been

implemented.

In June, 1994, a Five-Year Review was

conducted. The Five-Year Review

provided a basis for the Site deletion

from the NPL. The report states that

remedial actions implemented at the

Site continuously remain protective of

the public and the environment. Based

on the reported groundwater monitoring

results, all the Site related chemicals of

concern are below the alternate

concentration limits (ACLs).

EPA, with concurrence from the State

of Wisconsin, has determined that all

appropriate responses under CERCLA at

the Northern Engraving Corporation Site

have been completed by the responsible

party, and no further CERCLA response

actions are appropriate in order to

provide protection of human health and

environment. Therefore, EPA proposes

to delete the Site from the NPL.
