## integrity, and maintenance of th e soil cover. Site inspections show that the fencing is effectively preventing access to the site and site groundwater. Groundwater monitoring was stopped after 1997 . Because no contaminants of concern defined by the Record of Decision were detected in the four year s of annual groundwater monitoring, the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality recommended di scontinuing groundwat er monitoring. EPA concurred that this recommendation was appropriate to implement, once restrictive covenants are in place prohibiting groundwater use on the pr operty. The site was to be deleted from the National Priorities List (NPL). The City of Jacksonville was in the process of putting the restrictive covenants in place, pe nding resolution of legal issues associated with title to the remediated area. However the necessary resolu tion of legal issues had dragged on until August of 2005. Now the EPA attorney and the C ity Attorney has worked out a deed of easement and declaration of restrictive covenants with the United States becoming a third party beneficiary. Thus the Deletion can commence as soon the deed of easement and restrictive covenants are in place.
