their yards after heavy rains. 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.

National Oil and Hazardous 

Substances Pollution Contingency 

Plan; National Priorities List: Partial 

Deletion of the Naval Industrial 

Reserve Ordnance Plant Superfund 

Site 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule; notification of 

intent. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Region 5 is issuing a 

Notice of Intent to Delete Operable Unit 

3 (OU3) of the Naval Industrial Reserve 

Ordnance Plant (NIROP) Superfund Site 

(Site), located in Fridley, Minnesota, 

from the National Priorities List (NPL) 

and requests public comments on this 

proposed action. The NPL, promulgated 

pursuant to section 105 of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is 

an appendix of the National Oil and 

Hazardous Substances Pollution 

Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA and the 

State of Minnesota, through the 

Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 

(MPCA), have determined that all 

appropriate response actions at the OU, 

identified under CERCLA, other than 

operation, maintenance, and five-year 

reviews, have been completed. 

However, this partial deletion does not 

preclude future actions under 

Superfund. This partial deletion 

pertains to the OU3 portion of the 

NIROP Site, which includes all the 

unsaturated soils underlying the former 

Plating Shop Area of the NIROP 

Superfund Site. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

August 16, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this 

issue of the Federal Register, we are 

publishing a direct final Notice of 

Partial Deletion for OU3 of the NIROP 

Superfund Site without prior Notice of 

Intent for Partial Deletion because EPA 

views this as a noncontroversial 

revision and anticipates no adverse 

comment. We have explained our 

reasons for this partial deletion in the 

preamble to the direct final Notice of 

Partial Deletion, and those reasons are 

incorporated herein. If we receive no 

adverse comment(s) on this partial 

deletion action, we will not take further 

action on this Notification of Intent for 

Partial Deletion. If we receive adverse 

comment(s), we will withdraw the 

direct final Notice of Partial Deletion, 

and it will not take effect. We will then, 

as appropriate, address all public 

comments in a subsequent final Notice 

of Partial Deletion based on this 

Notification of Intent for Partial 

Deletion. We will not institute a second 

comment period on this Notification of 

Intent for Partial Deletion. Any parties 

interested in commenting must do so at 

this time. 

For additional information, see the 

direct final Notice of Partial Deletion 

which is located in the ‘‘Rules and 

Regulations’’ section of this issue of the 

Federal Register.
