40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2000-0006; FRL-9950-62-Region 2]

National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Jackson Steel Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Jackson Steel Superfund site (Site), located in the 
Village of Mineola, Nassau County, New York, contains a building 
formerly used as a metal-forming facility. The Site is bordered to the 
north by commercial spaces and single-family dwellings, to the east by 
a two-story apartment complex, to the south by a daycare center and to 
the west by an office building and restaurant.
    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 is publishing 
this direct final Notice of Deletion (NOD) of the Site 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 New York, through the New York State 
Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), because EPA has 
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been 
completed at the Site and that the soil on the Site and the groundwater 
beneath the Site no longer pose a threat to public health or the 
environment. Because elevated concentrations of volatile organic 
compounds (VOCs) are present under the slab of the vacant Jackson Steel 
building and the occupied daycare center, operation and maintenance of 
the subslab vapor intrusion mitigation systems under the daycare 
center, periodic vapor intrusion monitoring, and five-year reviews will 
continue. The deletion does not preclude future actions under 
Superfund.

DATES: This direct final deletion will be effective September 26, 2016 
unless EPA receives adverse comments by September 12, 2016. If adverse 
comments are received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of this 
direct final NOD in the Federal

[[Page 53312]]

Register, informing the public that the deletion will not take effect.

I. Introduction

    EPA Region 2 is publishing this direct final NOD of the 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 CERCLA, as 
amended. EPA maintains the NPL as the list of releases that appear to 
present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the 
environment. The releases on the NPL may be the subject of remedial 
actions financed by the Hazardous Substance Superfund (Fund). As 
described in Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP, a site deleted from the 
NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed remedial action if future 
conditions at the site warrant such actions.
    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 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 parties have implemented all 
appropriate response actions required;
    ii. all appropriate Fund-financed responses under CERCLA have been 
implemented, and no further action by responsible parties is 
appropriate; or
    iii. the remedial investigation (RI) has shown that the release of 
hazardous substances poses no significant threat to public health or 
the environment and, therefore, 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 the deletion of the Site:
    (1) EPA consulted with the State of New York prior to developing 
this direct final NOD and the NOID also published today in the 
``Proposed Rules'' section of the Federal Register.
    (2) EPA has provided the State with 30 working days for review of 
this notice and the parallel NOID prior to their publication today, and 
the State,

[[Page 53313]]

through NYSDEC, has concurred on the deletion of the Site from the NPL.
    (3) Concurrent with the publication of this direct final NOD, a 
notice of the availability of the parallel NOID is being published in a 
major local newspaper, the Mineola American. The newspaper notice 
announces the 30-day public comment period concerning the NOID of 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 NOD before its effective date 
and will prepare a response to comments. If appropriate, EPA may 
continue with the deletion process based on the NOID and the comments 
already received.
    The NPL is designed primarily for informational purposes and to 
assist EPA's management of sites. Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP 
states that the deletion of a site from the NPL does not preclude 
eligibility for further response actions should future conditions 
warrant such actions.

IV. Basis for Site Deletion

    The following information provides the Agency's rationale for 
deleting the Site from the NPL.

Site Background and History

    The 1.5-acre Site (CERCLIS ID NYD001344456) contains a one-story, 
43,000-square-foot building formerly used as a metal-forming facility 
and an approximately 10,000-square foot paved parking area. It is 
bordered to the north by commercial spaces and single-family dwellings, 
to the east by a two-story apartment complex, to the south by a daycare 
center, and to the west by an office building and restaurant.
    The property was used from the mid-1970s until 1991 as a ``roll 
form metal shapes'' manufacturing facility. Degreasers, including 
tetrachloroethylene (PCE), trichloroethylene, and 1,1,1-
trichloroethane, were used at the facility until 1985. Sludges from 
degreasing equipment were stored in drums and in an on-property 275-
gallon tank.
    The analytical results from samples collected by the Nassau County 
Department of Health (NCHD) in the early 1990s from within, around, and 
below three on-property dry wells indicated the presence of VOCs at 
depths down to 40 feet below the ground surface. VOCs were also 
detected in groundwater samples collected from monitoring wells located 
downgradient of the dry wells.
    Dumping of wastes into the dry wells and spills and leaks from 
drums storing various chemicals during the facility's operations are 
the likely sources of the contamination that was found at the Site.
    The Site was proposed for listing on the NPL on October 22, 1999 
(40 CFR part 300 [FRL-6462-2]). The Site was listed on the NPL on 
February 4, 2000 (40 CFR part 300 [FRL-6532-7]).
    Following the commencement of RI-related field work in October 
2001, because of concerns about the proximity of the Site to the 
daycare center, NCHD performed air sampling inside the daycare center 
building. The air samples detected PCE at levels below the New York 
State Department of Health's (NYSDOH's) guideline for indoor PCE 
exposure. Given the sensitivity of the population exposed (preschool 
children), NCHD collected additional samples in December 2001. At that 
time, indoor testing was also conducted inside the Jackson Steel 
building and the restaurant located adjacent to the Site. The results 
indicated that PCE levels in the indoor air of several rooms in the 
daycare center were above NYSDOH's guideline for PCE. As a result, in 
January 2002, a subslab depressurization system (i.e., vapor intrusion 
mitigation system) was installed by EPA. In addition, a ventilation 
system was installed by the daycare center's contractor. Samples 
collected to assess the effectiveness of the implemented measures 
showed that the PCE levels in the air were significantly below NYSDOH's 
guideline and below EPA's acceptable noncancer risk levels. Because 
elevated PCE levels were also detected in a billiards club that shared 
common walls with the Site building and the daycare center, EPA 
installed a vapor intrusion mitigation system under the concrete slab 
of this building, as well. The billiards club was subsequently occupied 
as a retail store, and recently the daycare center (the Learn and Play 
Daycare Center) expanded to occupy this space, as well. The vapor 
intrusion mitigation systems were replaced by the property owner's 
contractor in May 2016.
    The results of the RI, which was completed in 2002, indicated that 
VOCs, semi-volatile organic compounds, pesticides, and metals 
contamination were present in the surface soil, and VOC contamination 
was present at several subsurface soil locations. In addition, 
contamination was found in a trench and sumps located inside the 
building and dry wells located under the parking lot at the Site.
    Groundwater from the three hydrogeologic units underlying the 
site--the Upper Glacial Aquifer (upper aquifer), Magothy Confining Bed 
(a low permeability, clay layer separating the upper and deep 
aquifers), and the Magothy Aquifer (deep aquifer)--were also sampled. 
VOC contamination above state and federal standards was detected both 
in the Upper Glacial Aquifer and Magothy Aquifer.
    Based upon the results of the RI and a feasibility study, in 
September 2004, EPA selected a remedy for the Site in a Record of 
Decision (ROD). The ROD outlined the following remedial action 
objectives (RAOs):
     Minimize or eliminate contaminant migration from 
contaminated soils and dry wells to the groundwater;
     minimize or eliminate any contaminant migration from 
contaminated soils and groundwater to indoor air;
     restore groundwater to levels which meet state and federal 
standards within a reasonable time frame;
     mitigate the migration of the affected groundwater; and
     reduce or eliminate any direct contact, ingestion, or 
inhalation threat associated with contaminated soils, soil vapor, 
contaminated surfaces in the on-property building, and groundwater.
    The selected remedy includes the following actions:
     Decontamination of the Jackson Steel building floor;
     in-situ soil vapor extraction (ISVE) to treat the 
contaminated subsurface soil;
     excavation and off-Site disposal of the contaminated 
surface soil and contaminated material in on-Site sumps, a trench, and 
dry wells;
     in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) to treat the 
contaminated groundwater in the Upper Glacial Aquifer;
     extraction and treatment of the contaminated groundwater 
in the deep aquifer if confirmatory groundwater sampling indicates that 
the Site is a principal source of the groundwater contamination to the 
aquifer underlying the Site;
     if it is determined that the Site is a principal source of 
the groundwater contamination to the deep aquifer underlying the Site, 
the selected remedy would be expanded, as necessary, to include off-
property groundwater contamination; and
     long-term groundwater monitoring.
    The soil cleanup objectives were established pursuant to New York 
State Technical and Administrative Guidance

[[Page 53314]]

Memorandum (TAGM) No. 94-HWR-4046 objectives (Division Technical and 
Administrative Guidance Memorandum: Determination of Soil Cleanup 
Objectives and Cleanup Levels, Division of Hazardous Waste Remediation, 
January 24, 1994). As dictated by the TAGM objectives, the soil cleanup 
levels selected in the ROD were the more stringent cleanup level 
between a human-health protection value and a value based on protection 
of groundwater. The groundwater cleanup goals were the more stringent 
of the state or federal promulgated standards. EPA and New York State 
Department of Health promulgated health-based, protective Maximum 
Contaminant Levels (MCLs) that are enforceable standards for various 
drinking water contaminants. MCLs ensure that drinking water does not 
pose either a short- or long-term health risk.
    The building decontamination and the excavation of the contaminated 
surface soil and the contaminated material in the building sumps and 
trench and in the dry wells and their disposal were performed from 2005 
to 2006. A total of 170 cubic yards of material was excavated and 
disposed of at an EPA-approved off-Site facility.
    Groundwater ISCO injections were performed between July and 
December 2005. Approximately, 15,000 gallons of iron-catalyzed sodium 
persulfate (with small amounts of buffering agents) and 600 gallons of 
hydrogen peroxide were injected into the aquifer through a network of 
20 injection wells to treat the contamination in the Upper Glacial 
Aquifer.
    After a successful pilot test, an ISVE system consisting of nine 
ISVE wells and 11 vapor monitoring probes began operating in 2005.
    A supplemental groundwater investigation was conducted from 2005 to 
2006 to determine the source of the Magothy Aquifer contamination 
underneath the Site and to establish whether there was a relationship 
between the contamination at the Site and the VOC contamination 
detected in nearby Village of Mineola Supply Well #4. Based on the 
results of the investigation, it was concluded that the Site was not a 
current source of contamination in the Magothy Aquifer. Therefore, EPA 
decided not to implement the Magothy Aquifer groundwater remedy. An 
Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD) was issued in 2007, 
documenting this decision.
    While the cleanup objectives for the Upper Glacial Aquifer and soil 
were met in 2006 and 2008, respectively, EPA continued to operate the 
ISVE system until 2013 because VOC vapors were still being recovered 
from underneath the Jackson Steel building. The operation of the ISVE 
system was discontinued when the levels of vapor removal became too low 
for the system to continue to be efficient.
    The aboveground ISVE infrastructure was removed by EPA in June 
2013. From March to April 19, 2016, the groundwater monitoring wells, 
ISVE wells, vapor monitoring wells, ISCO injection wells, and ISCO 
monitoring wells, were decommissioned.
    Although EPA successfully remediated the soil and the groundwater 
aquifer immediately underlying the Site, residual levels of VOCs 
remain. VOCs, even at low levels, can migrate as vapors through the 
soil into buildings. This process, which is called vapor intrusion, can 
result in unacceptable human exposures to VOCs inside occupied 
buildings. This pathway is currently incomplete at the Site, because 
the building on the site is currently unoccupied, and subslab vapor 
intrusion mitigation systems prevent the migration of vapors into an 
adjacent occupied building.
    Because the residual levels of VOCs are expected to dissipate 
slowly, EPA concluded that preventing human exposure to VOCs at the 
occupied building will be needed for a number of years to ensure the 
protectiveness of the remedy. Therefore, the existing vapor intrusion 
mitigation systems will need to continue to operate, and additional 
actions, from monitoring to the installation of an additional vapor 
mitigation system, may be needed should the currently unoccupied 
building be occupied or replaced with another structure in the future. 
EPA determined that institutional controls (ICs) (i.e., property use 
restrictions) requiring the continued operation of the subslab vapor 
intrusion mitigation systems were needed. In addition, EPA determined 
that ICs requiring vapor intrusion sampling and/or mitigative measures 
were needed should the unoccupied Jackson Steel building be occupied or 
replaced with another structure in the future.
    EPA issued an ESD on June 20, 2016, documenting its determination 
to incorporate into the remedy ICs to prevent exposure through vapor 
intrusion. The ICs will remain in place until the residual VOCs fully 
dissipate in the subsurface. EPA noted in the ESD that a Vapor 
Intrusion Management Plan (VIMP) and Institutional Control 
Implementation and Assurance Plan (ICIAP) would be prepared to ensure 
that the ICs were appropriately implemented and maintained. In 
addition, in the ESD EPA noted that it would communicate directly with 
the Village of Mineola Superintendent of Buildings, requesting that EPA 
and NYSDEC be notified if the existing building is to be refurbished 
and used for human occupancy or demolished and a new structure 
constructed. The correspondence would also request that the Village not 
issue a Certificate of Occupancy until necessary vapor intrusion-
related actions identified by EPA and NYSDEC are carried out.
    A VIMP and ICIAP were completed on June 20, 2016.
    On June 20, 2016, EPA sent a letter to the Village of Mineola 
Superintendent of Buildings, requesting that EPA and NYSDEC be notified 
if the existing building is to be refurbished and used for human 
occupancy or demolished and a new structure constructed and requested 
that the Village not issue a Certificate of Occupancy until necessary 
vapor intrusion-related actions identified by EPA and NYSDEC are 
carried out. Periodic reminders will be issued to the Village to help 
ensure the effectiveness of this measure.
    On July 27, 2016, notices were placed on the deed of the two 
parcels occupied by the daycare center and the parcel occupied by the 
Jackson Steel building. The notice on the deed of the daycare center 
requires that the subslab vapor intrusion mitigation systems be 
operated as long as elevated levels of vapors remain under the 
buildings on the property and the buildings are occupied. The notice on 
the deed of the Jackson Steel building alerts any potential purchaser, 
lessee, or other user of the property that EPA and NYSDEC must be 
notified if and when a determination is made that the existing building 
will be refurbished and used for human occupancy or demolished and a 
new structure constructed. EPA intends to effect an environmental 
easement on the Jackson Steel property in the future once a new owner 
takes control of the property.

Five-Year Review

    It is the policy of EPA to conduct five-year reviews when remedial 
activities, including monitoring, will continue for more than five 
years. A five-year review that is required by policy is triggered by 
the date of the approval of the Preliminary Close-Out Report, which 
documents that EPA has determined that construction at a site has been 
completed. For this Site, the Preliminary Close-Out Report was approved 
on August 30, 2007.
    The first five-year review was completed in August 2012. The review 
concluded that the remedy was functioning as intended in the decision

[[Page 53315]]

documents and was protecting human health and the environment.
    Subsequent to the 2012 five-year review, EPA determined that ICs 
were necessary to ensure the protectiveness of the remedy, as discussed 
above. Five-year reviews will be conducted as long as residual VOC 
levels remain that perpetuate the vapor intrusion concerns described in 
this ESD. The next five-year review will be conducted by August 2017.

Community Involvement

    Public participation activities for the Site have been satisfied as 
required pursuant to CERCLA Sections 113(k) and 117, 42 U.S.C. 9613(k) 
and 9617. As part of the remedy selection process, the public was 
invited to comment on the proposed remedy. All other documents and 
information that EPA 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 From the 
NCP

    All of the cleanup requirements for the Site have been met, as 
described in the September 2006 groundwater Interim Groundwater 
Remedial Action Report, September 2008 soil Remedial Action Report, 
August 2007 Preliminary Close-Out Report, July 2016 Final Close-Out 
Report, and 2012 Five-Year Review report. The State of New York, in a 
July 29, 2016 letter, concurred with the proposed deletion of the 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 New 
York, through NYSDEC, believes that this criterion for the deletion of 
the Site has been met in that that the soil on the Site and the 
groundwater beneath the Site no longer pose a threat to public health 
or the environment. Consequently, EPA is deleting the Site from the 
NPL. Documents supporting this action are available in the deletion 
docket at http://www.regulations.gov and at the Site information 
repositories.

V. Deletion Action

    EPA, with the concurrence of the State of New York through NYSDEC, 
has determined that other than the ongoing operation and maintenance of 
the vapor intrusion mitigation systems at the daycare center, periodic 
vapor intrusion monitoring, insuring that the ICs are in place and 
effective, and five-year reviews, all appropriate responses under 
CERCLA have been completed at the Site. The soil and groundwater 
immediately underlying the Site no longer pose a threat to public 
health or the environment. Therefore, EPA is deleting the Site from the 
NPL. Periodic vapor intrusion monitoring and five-year reviews will 
still be required for the Site. The deletion does not preclude future 
action under CERCLA. Because EPA considers this action to be 
noncontroversial and routine, EPA is taking this action without prior 
publication. This action will be effective September 26, 2016 unless 
EPA receives adverse comments by September 12, 2016. If adverse 
comments are received within the 30-day public comment period of this 
action, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of this direct final NOD 
before the effective date of the deletion and the deletion will not 
take effect. EPA will prepare a response to comments and continue with 
the deletion process on the basis of the NOID and the comments 
received. In such a case, there will be no additional opportunity to 
comment.
