SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Region 4 is publishing a 

direct final Notice of Deletion of the 

Callaway & Son Drum Services 

Superfund Site, located in Lake Alfred, 

Polk County, Florida from the National 

Priorities List (NPL). 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). This direct 

final deletion is being published by EPA 

with the concurrence of the State of 

Florida, through the Florida Department 

of Environmental Protection, because 

EPA has determined that all appropriate 

response actions under CERCLA, other 

than five-year reviews, have been 

completed. However, this deletion does 

not preclude future actions under 

Superfund.

IV. Basis for Site Deletion 

V. Deletion Action 

I. Introduction 

EPA Region 4 is publishing this direct 

final Notice of Deletion of the Callaway 

& Son Drum Services Superfund Site, 

from the NPL. The NPL constitutes 

Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300, which 

is the NCP, which EPA promulgated 

pursuant to section 105 of the CERCLA 

of 1980, as amended. EPA maintains the 

NPL as the list of sites that appear to 

present a significant risk to public 

health, welfare, or the environment. 

Sites on the NPL may be the subject of 

remedial actions financed by the 

Hazardous Substance Superfund (Fund). 

As described in 300.425(e) (3) of the 

NCP, sites deleted from the NPL remain 

eligible for Fund-financed remedial 

actions if future conditions warrant 

such actions. 

Because EPA considers this action to 

be noncontroversial and routine, this 

action will be effective August 4, 2009 

unless EPA receives adverse comments 

by July 6, 2009. Along with this direct 

final Notice of Deletion, EPA is copublishing a Notice of Intent to Delete 

in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of the 

Federal Register. If adverse comments 

are received within the 30-day public 

comment period on this deletion action, 

EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of 

this direct final Notice of Deletion 

before the effective date of the deletion, 

and the deletion will not take effect. 

EPA will, as appropriate, prepare a 

response to comments and continue 

with the deletion process on the basis of 

the Notice of Intent to Delete and the 

comments already received. There will 

be no additional opportunity to 

comment. 

Section II of this document explains 

the criteria for deleting sites from the 

NPL. Section III discusses procedures 

that EPA is using for this action. Section 

IV discusses the Callaway & Son Drum 

Services Superfund Site and 

demonstrates how it meets the deletion 

criteria. Section V discusses EPA’s 

action to delete the Site from the NPL 

unless adverse comments are received 

during the public comment period. 

II. NPL Deletion Criteria 

The NCP establishes the criteria that 

EPA uses to delete sites from the NPL. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 300.425(e), 

sites may be deleted from the NPL 

where no further response is 

appropriate. In making such a 

determination pursuant to 40 CFR 

300.425(e), EPA will consider, in 

consultation with the state, whether any 

of the following criteria have been met: 

i. Responsible parties or other persons 

have implemented all appropriate 

response actions required; 

ii. All appropriate Fund-financed 

response under CERCLA has been 

implemented, and no further response 

action by responsible parties is 

appropriate; or 

iii. The remedial investigation has 

shown that the release poses no 

significant threat to public health or the 

environment and, therefore, the taking 

of remedial measures is not appropriate. 

Pursuant to CERCLA section 121 (c) 

and the NCP, EPA conducts five-year 

reviews to ensure the continued 

protectiveness of remedial actions 

where hazardous substances, pollutants, 

or contaminants remain at a site above 

levels that allow for unlimited use and 

unrestricted exposure. EPA conducts 

such five-year reviews even if a site is 

deleted from the NPL. EPA may initiate 

further action to ensure continued 

protectiveness at a deleted site if new 

information becomes available that 

indicates it is appropriate. Whenever 

there is a significant release from a site 

deleted from the NPL, the deleted site 

may be restored to the NPL without 

application of the hazard ranking 

system.

III. Deletion Procedures 

The following procedures apply to 

deletion of the Site: 

(1) EPA consulted with the State of 

Florida prior to developing this direct 

final Notice of Deletion and the Notice 

of Intent to Delete co- published today 

in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of the 

Federal Register. 

(2) EPA has provided the State of 

Florida 30 working days for review of 

this notice and the parallel Notice of 

Intent to Delete prior to their 

publication today, and the State, 

through the Florida Department of 

Environmental Protection, has 

concurred on the deletion of the Site 

from the NPL. 

(3) Concurrently with the publication 

of this direct final Notice of Deletion, a 

notice of the availability of the parallel 

Notice of Intent to Delete is being 

published in a major local newspaper, 

the Lakeland Ledger. The newspaper 

notice announces the 30-day public 

comment period concerning the Notice 

of Intent to Delete the Site from the 

NPL. 

(4) EPA placed copies of documents 

supporting the proposed deletion in the 

deletion docket and made these items 

available for public inspection and 

copying at the Site information 

repositories identified above. 

(5) If adverse comments are received 

within the 30-day public comment 

period on this deletion action, EPA will 

publish a timely notice of withdrawal of 

this direct final Notice of Deletion 

before its effective date and will prepare 

a response to comments and continue 

with the deletion process on the basis of 

the Notice of Intent to Delete and the 

comments already received. 

Deletion of a site from the NPL does 

not itself create, alter, or revoke any 

individual’s rights or obligations. 

Deletion of a site from the NPL does not 

in any way alter EPA’s right to take 

enforcement actions, as appropriate. 

The NPL is designed primarily for 

informational purposes and to assist 

EPA management. Section 300.425(e)(3) 

of the NCP states that the deletion of a 

site from the NPL does not preclude 

eligibility for future response actions, 

should future conditions warrant such 

actions. 

IV. Basis for Site Deletion 

The following information provides 

EPA’s rationale for deleting the Site 

from the NPL: 

Site Background and History 

The Callaway & Son Drum Services 

(CSDS) Superfund Site (CERCLIS ID 

FLD094590916) is located in Lake 

Alfred, Polk County, Florida. The 

approximately nine and a half acre Site 

is located 55 miles east of Tampa and 

43 miles west of Orlando, Florida. The 

Site lies between the Seaboard System 

Railroad tracks on the north and U.S. 

Highway 17–92 on the south. The City 

of Lake Alfred Wastewater Treatment 

Plant is located adjacent to and west of 

the Site. The Redwoods Apartments are 

located adjacent to and east of the Site. 

A garden nursery borders the property 

to the southwest. 

CSDS was a family business, which 

operated from mid-1977 through early 

1991 as a re-furbisher and reseller of 

used 55-gallon oil, solvent and citrus 

products drums. About 20 spent oil 

drums were cleaned, sandblasted and 

painted on an average day. During the 

citrus season, approximately 500 opentop drums were sandblasted and, if 

needed, painted every day. 

At the operation’s height, the facility 

once was estimated to have 60,000 

drums present on the Site. 

Approximately 71 of the drums left 

abandoned on the uplands were 

removed and disposed of during a 1995 

removal action conducted by the Florida 

Department of Environmental Protection 

(FDEP). The remaining drums and drum 

carcasses, estimated to be between twoto-three thousand, were removed and 

disposed of in December 2001 by 

contractors to EPA. 

The CSDS Site first came to the 

attention of the Florida Department of 

Environmental Regulation (FDER, now 

FDEP) in October 1982, through the 

owner’s application to construct/operate 

an industrial wastewater treatment and 

disposal system for the rinse water. 

Analyses of the rinse water discharge 

collected in December 1982 detected oil 

and grease and several inorganic 

analytes, including chromium, iron, and 

lead. 

In early March 1984, members of the 

FDER Groundwater Section Operation 

Response Team conducted a site 

inspection of the CSDS Site. As a result 

of that inspection, FDER issued a 

warning notice to the owner for 

unauthorized discharge of organic 

solvents into surface and groundwater 

and for failure to provide a groundwater 

monitoring plan. A monitoring plan was 

subsequently submitted in January 

1985. The plan proposed the installation 

of three monitoring wells. In July 1985, 

FDER completed a Potential Hazardous 

Waste Site Preliminary Assessment for 

the CSDS Site. The assessment 

recommended that the Site be given a 

low priority of inspection at the time, 

due to the then recent sampling 

conducted by FDER and the January 

1985 submittal of a groundwater 

monitoring plan. 

In June 1994, the FDER filed a Notice 

of Violation and Order for Corrective 

Action against the owner. The Notice of 

Violation was based upon the results of 

the Site Investigation, which revealed 

improper drum disposal and storage, as 

well as onsite soil and groundwater 

contamination. The owner was given 

the opportunity to petition the FDER for 

a hearing to address the Notice of 

Violation. The owner did not file for a 

petition and in October 1994, FDER 

filed a final Order against him. 

The EPA proposed the Site to the NPL 

on February 4, 2000 through publication 

in the Federal Register (Volume 65, 

Number 24). The Site was finalized on 

the NPL through publication in the 

Federal Register on May 11, 2000 

(Volume 65, Number 92). 

Remedial Investigation (RI) 

EPA initially conducted RI filed 

activities from February 2002 through 

August 2003. The following summarizes 

the scope of the RI for the CSDS Site: 

• Determined the nature and extent of 

groundwater, soil, sediment, and surface 

water contamination relative to local 

background conditions that were 

attributable to the Site; 

• Determined the extent of human 

contact with potentially contaminated 

media; 

• Collected and evaluated the data 

necessary to develop a human health 

risk assessment; and 

• Collected and evaluated the data 

necessary to develop an ecological risk 

assessment. 

The 2002 surface and subsurface soil 

semivolatile organic compound (SVOCs) 

results reported a significant number of 

tentatively identified and/or 

unidentified compounds. At that time, 

EPA consulted with FDEP (prior to 

issuing a Proposed Plan) on the remedy, 

which consisted of a deed notice to 

notify prospective buyers of the 

presence of the unidentified and 

tentatively identified compounds, as 

well as groundwater monitoring for a 

limited period of time. In the event that 

the monitoring did not indicate 

contaminant concentrations of concern, 

groundwater monitoring was to be 

discontinued. FDEP did not concur with 

that proposed remedy as a final remedy. 

As a result, EPA conducted additional 

studies between 2004 and 2006 to 

determine the identity, concentration 

and toxicities of the tentatively 

identified and unidentified semivolatile 

compounds. 

The question of the risks posed by 

tentatively identified and unidentified 

semivolatile organic compounds to 


erowe on PROD1PC63 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 107 / Friday, June 5, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 26965 

human health were evaluated with the 

assistance of the EPA Office of Research 

and Development and the Superfund 

Health Risk Technical Support Center. 

Uncertainties related to non-cancer 

effects pertaining to the risks posed by 

the semivolatile organic contaminants 

identified in surface and subsurface soil 

were reduced, though not entirely 

eliminated. The evaluation concluded 

that an overwhelming majority of the 

compounds analyzed were not detected. 

Those SVOCs that were present in 

surface and subsurface soil were found 

below preliminary remediation goals 

and a hazard index of 1.0. In addition, 

two rounds of groundwater sampling 

conducted during 2007 showed that the 

tentatively and unidentified 

semivolatile organic compounds are not 

present in the Site’s groundwater. 

Selected Remedy 

EPA, in consultation with FDEP, 

selected a No Action Record of Decision 

(ROD) at the CSDS Site on September 

12, 2007. As discussed above, this 

decision was based principally on the 

outcome of both human health and 

ecological risk assessments. The 

estimates of human risks under the 

various exposure scenarios found that 

cancer and non-cancer risks posed by 

the Site’s media were well within the 

ranges found acceptable by EPA. 

Five-Year Review 

Although hazardous substances are 

not known to be present onsite above 

levels allowing for unlimited use and 

unrestricted exposure, a discretionary 

five year review will be conducted by 

EPA within five years of the signing of 

the 2007 ROD. The purpose of this 

review is to revisit the issue related to 

the presence of tentatively identified 

and unidentified semivolatile organic 

compounds believed to be present in the 

Site’s soil. 

Community Involvement 

Community relations involvement 

efforts for the CSDS Site began in 

August 2000 when the Florida 

Department of Health, Agency for Toxic 

Substances and Disease Registry and 

EPA publicized and held a public 

availability session, for the purpose of 

communicating the results of the health 

consultation and to inform the 

community of the Site’s status. In mid2002, EPA finalized the Site’s 

Community Involvement Plan. Area 

residents were contacted as part of the 

community involvement work. An 

information repository was established 

at the Lake Alfred Public Library. 

Documents supporting both the removal 

action and the 2007 ROD were made 

available to the public at the Site’s 

information repository, prior to the 

issuance of this ROD. On July 6, 2007, 

EPA published a Notice of Proposed 

Plan Public Comment Period and 

offered a public meeting. Only one 

comment was received during the 

comment period. No requests for a 

Public Meeting or extension of the 

comment period were received. 

Information which EPA has relied on or 

considered in recommending this 

deletion are available for the public to 

review at the information repositories 

identified above. 

Determination That the Site Meets the 

Criteria for Deletion in the NCP 

All of the completion requirements 

for this Site have been met, as described 

in the December 2007 Final Close-Out 

Report. The State of Florida has 

concurred with the proposed deletion of 

this Site from the NPL. 

The NCP specifies that EPA may 

delete a site from the NPL if, ‘‘all 

appropriate Fund-financed response 

under CERCLA has been implemented, 

and no further response action by 

responsible parties is appropriate.’’ 40 

CFR 300.425(e)(1)(ii). EPA with the 

concurrence of the State of Florida, 

through the FDEP, believes that this 

criterion for deletion has been met. 

Consequently, EPA is deleting this Site 

from the NPL. Documents supporting 

this action are available in the Site files. 

V. Deletion Action 

EPA, with concurrence of the State of 

Florida through the FDEP, has 

determined that all appropriate 

response actions under CERCLA, other 

than five-year reviews have been 

completed. Therefore, EPA is deleting 

the Site from the NPL. 

Because EPA considers this action to 

be noncontroversial and routine, EPA is 

taking it without prior publication. This 

action will be effective August 4, 2009 

unless EPA receives adverse comments 

by July 6, 2009. If adverse comments are 

received within the 30-day public 

comment period, EPA will publish a 

timely withdrawal of this direct final 

notice of deletion before the effective 

date of the deletion, and it will not take 

effect. EPA will prepare a response to 

comments and continue with the 

deletion process on the basis of the 

notice of intent to delete and the 

comments already received. There will 

be no additional opportunity to 

comment.
