Standard Operating Procedure for

Measuring Cholinesterases in

Laboratory Rats and Dogs Exposed to

Non-Reversible Cholinesterase

Inhibitors

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability and

request for comments.

SUMMARY: EPA is making available for

public comment Standard Operating

Procedures (SOP) for measuring

cholinesterases. This SOP specifies the

details of a clinical methodology for

performing cholinesterase enzyme

assays in tissues taken from laboratory

rats and dogs. This SOP is limited in

scope to the measurement of

cholinesterase levels in control animals

and in animals exposed to a nonreversible cholinesterase inhibitor. This

method is essentially the Ellman

procedure (1961), with the stipulation

that specific parameters be tightly

controlled (e.g. pH, wavelength,

substrate concentration, etc.).

DATES: Written comments must be

received on or before May 28, 1996..

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are

invited to submit written comments in

triplicate to: Public Response and

Program Resources Branch, Field

Operations Division (7506C),

Proposed Prospective Purchaser

Agreement for the Former Vygen

Corporation and Olin Corporation

Facilities at the Fields Brook

Superfund Site; 42 U.S.C. 9622(h)

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (‘‘U.S. EPA’’).

ACTION: Proposal of Prospective

Purchaser Agreement for the former

Vygen Corporation and Olin

Corporation facilities at the Fields Brook

Superfund Site.

SUMMARY: U.S. EPA proposes to address

the prospective purchase by Vision

Properties, Inc. (‘‘the Settling

Respondent’’) of the Vygen property

(‘‘the Property’’), which contains the

former Vygen Corporation and Olin

Corporation facilities at the Fields Brook

Superfund site (‘‘the Site’’) in Ashtabula

County, Ohio. The Site consists of

Fields Brook and its watershed and

contains a number of industrial facilities

including the former Vygen and Olin

facilities. U.S. EPA intends to enter into

a Prospective Purchaser Agreement

(‘‘Agreement’’) with the Settling

Respondent in order to address the

potential liability of the Settling

Respondent. The key terms and

conditions of the Agreement may be

briefly summarized as follows: (1) The

Settling Respondent agrees to, in regard

to the Property, (a) collect and remove

all existing sediment from within the

existing storm sewers and the concrete

pond and bring such sediment to an

acceptable off-site landfill, and upgrade

the storm sewers on the Property to

prevent Property contamination from

having an easy route for release to

Fields Brook; and/or (b) collect and

remove all existing sediment from the

concrete pond, plug all existing storm

sewers and storm drainage outflow

pipes and if Settling Respondent also

plans to replace the existing storm

sewer system with a stormwater

drainage system, it shall avoid areas of

the Property which have been

contaminated from previous site

activities; (2) the Settling Respondent

agrees to grant to EPA and Ohio an

irrevocable right of access at all

reasonable times to the Property and to

any other property to which access is

required for the implementation of

response actions at the Site, for the

purposes of performing and overseeing

response actions at the Site under

Federal law; and (3) U.S. EPA affords

the Settling Respondent a covenant not

to sue or take any other civil or

administrative action against Settling

Respondent for any and all civil liability

for injunctive relief or reimbursement of

response costs pursuant to Section 106

or 107(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606 or

9607(a) with respect to the Existing

Contamination. The Site is on the

National Priorities List (NPL) and

further response activities at the Site are

contemplated, but these activities are

not anticipated to involve the Vygen

and Olin facilities.

must be received by U.S. EPA on or
