Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 157 / Tuesday, August 14, 2018 / Notices 40287 

General Information 

The Absorbent Technologies Site is 

comprised of two properties where a 

company manufactured a soil additive 

which allowed farmers to use less water. 

This manufacturing process involved 

the use of chemicals, including 

acrylonitrile, hydrogen cyanide, 

potassium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, 

phosphoric acid, methanol and toxic 

metals. The properties which comprise 

the Site are located at 2830 Ferry Street 

SW, and 140 SW Queen Avenue in 

Albany, Oregon. When the 

manufacturing operations ceased in 

October 2013, a substantial amount of 

chemicals were discarded on-site. 

Following a notice from the Albany Fire 

Department, EPA required and 

performed cleanup activities at the Site 

through April 2014. In a 2014 

settlement, EPA received a payment of 

$250,000 from owners and operators of 

the Site. That settlement resolved a cost 

claim of approximately $500,000. The 

proposed administrative settlement 

agreement which is currently subject to 

public comment will require River City 

Environmental, Inc., David L. Ellis, 

Pamela L. Ellis, and Farouk Al-Hadi, 

four owners of personal or real property 

at the Queen Avenue portion of the Site, 

to pay EPA a total of $187,500. These 

parties also funded or performed some 

of the cleanup work required by EPA at 

the Site. Subsequent to the 2014 

settlement, EPA incurred approximately 

$364,786 in additional response costs 

for the Queen Avenue portion of the 

Site. Pursuant to the terms of the 

proposed CERCLA section 122(h)(1) 

Settlement Agreement for Recovery of 

Response Costs, the settling parties will 

pay EPA a total of $187,500. Of that 

amount, River City will pay $75,000, 

and Mr. Ellis, Ms. Ellis, and Mr. Al-Hadi 

will jointly pay $112,500. In return for 

those payments, EPA covenants not to 

sue the settling parties for past response 

costs—response costs incurred by EPA 

prior to the effective date of the 

proposed Settlement Agreement—at the 

Site. For 30 days following the date of 

publication of this document, EPA will 

receive written comments relating to the 

proposed settlement. EPA will consider 

all comments received and may modify 

or withdraw its consent to the 

settlement if comments received 

disclose facts or considerations which 

indicate that the settlement is 

inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. 

EPA’s response to any comments 

received will be available for public 

inspection at the U.S. EPA Region 10 

offices located at 1200 Sixth Avenue in 

Seattle, Washington, and 805 SW 

Broadway, Suite 500, in Portland, 

Oregon.

the State of Connecticut and the State of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The State of Connecticut has adopted 

drinking water regulations for the Stage 

1 Disinfectant and Disinfection 

Byproducts Rule (63 FR 69390) 

promulgated on December 16, 1998, and 

the Stage 2 Disinfectant and 

Disinfection Byproducts Rule (71 FR 

388) promulgated on January 4, 2006. 

After review of the submitted 

documentation, EPA has determined 

that the State of Connecticut’s Stage 1 

Disinfectant and Disinfection 

Byproducts Rule and Stage 2 

Disinfectant and Disinfection 

Byproducts Rule are no less stringent 

than the corresponding federal 

regulations. Therefore, EPA intends to 

approve Connecticut’s PWSS program 

revision for these rules. 

The State of New Hampshire has 

adopted drinking water regulations for 

the Ground Water Rule (71 FR 65574) 

promulgated on November 8, 2006, the 

Lead and Copper Short Term Revisions 

Rule (72 FR 57782) promulgated on 

October 10, 2007, the Revised Total 

Coliform Rule (78 FR 10269) 

promulgated February 13, 2013, the 

Stage 1 Disinfectant and Disinfection 

Byproducts Rule (63 FR 69390) 

promulgated on December 16, 1998, and 

the Stage 2 Disinfectant and 

Disinfection Byproducts Rule (71 FR 

388) promulgated on January 4, 2006. 

After review of the submitted 

documentation, EPA has determined 

that the state of New Hampshire’s 

Groundwater Rule, Lead and Copper 

Short-Term Revisions Rule, Revised 

Total Coliform Rule, Stage 1 

Disinfectant and Disinfection 

Byproducts Rule, and the Stage 2 

Disinfectant and Disinfection 

Byproducts Rule are no less stringent 

than the corresponding federal 

regulations. In addition, EPA’s primary 

enforcement responsibility regulations 

require states that accept electronic 

documents to have adopted regulations 

consistent with 40 CFR part 3 

(Electronic reporting). New Hampshire 

accepts electronic documents and is in 

the process of adopting the necessary 

regulations that will supplement the 

State’s legal authority under the State’s 

Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

Therefore, EPA intends to approve New 

Hampshire’s PWSS program revision for 

these rules. 

II. Public Hearing Requests 

All interested parties may request a 

public hearing for any of the EPA 

determinations. Frivolous or 

insubstantial requests for a hearing may 

be denied by the Regional 

Administrator. 

However, if a substantial request for a 

public hearing is made by this date, a 

public hearing will be held. If no timely 

and appropriate request for a hearing is 

received, and the Regional
