National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent for partial deletion of a portion of the 
Seneca Army Depot Activity Superfund Site from the National Priorities 
List.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
announces its intent to delete from the National Priorities List (NPL) 
all media (surface soils, subsurface soils, structures, surface water, 
and ground water) within the following two specific parcels of real 
property located at the Seneca Army Depot Activity (SEDA) Superfund 
Site (Site), Romulus, New York: Real Estate Parcel 1, except for a 
portion of this parcel known as SEAD-24; and the entirety of Real 
Estate Parcel 2. EPA requests public comment on this action. The NPL 
constitutes Appendix B to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances 
Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR Part 300, which EPA 
promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended. EPA and 
the State of New York, through its Department of Environmental 
Conservation (the State), have determined that all appropriate CERCLA 
response actions related to Parcel 1 (except the SEAD-24 portion) and 
Parcel 2 have been implemented. This partial deletion pertains only to 
Parcel 1 (except the SEAD-24 portion) and Parcel 2, and does not 
include any other portions of the Site. The portion of Parcel 1 known 
as SEAD-24 is not proposed for deletion at this time. Figure one (in 
the deletion docket) shows a map of Real Estate Parcels 1 and 2, and 
delineates between those areas being proposed for deletion and those 
areas that will remain on the NPL.
    The purpose of the proposed deletion of Parcel 1 (except the SEAD-
24 portion) and Parcel 2 is to remove uncontaminated and potentially 
useful property from the NPL, thereby making

[[Page 51759]]

the land more desirable for re-development.
    EPA has compiled the documents, such as soil sample results and 
locations, maps, pollution reports, and other relevant deletion 
documentation which were used by EPA in its determination to propose 
deletion of these Parcels. These documents are located in the deletion 
docket at the locations indicated below.

DATES: EPA will accept comments concerning its proposal for partial 
deletion until October 11, 2007 and a local newspaper of record.

IV. Basis for Intended Partial Site Deletion

I. Introduction

    EPA announces its intention to delete from the NPL all media 
(surface soils, subsurface soils, structures, surface water, and ground 
water) related to a portion of Real Estate Parcel 1 and all of Real 
Estate Parcel 2 at the Seneca Army Depot Activity Superfund Site, 
located in Romulus, New York, and requests public comments on this 
action. The [Comment 1] NPL constitutes Appendix B of the NCP, 40 CFR 
Part 300, which EPA promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of CERCLA. This 
partial deletion is proposed in accordance with 40 CFR 300.425(e) and 
the Notice of Policy Change: Partial Deletion of Sites listed on the 
National Priorities List, 60 FR 55466 (Nov. 1, 1995). EPA and the State 
have determined that all appropriate CERCLA response actions related to 
a portion of Real Estate Parcel 1 and all of Real Estate Parcel 2 have 
been implemented. This partial deletion pertains only to the designated 
areas in Parcels 1 and 2 and does not include other portions of the 
Site. In addition, there is one area located within Parcel 1, known as 
SEAD-24, which is not proposed for deletion at this time. Boundaries of 
the Parcels proposed for deletion, as well as the boundaries of SEAD-
24, can be reviewed at the Site's information repositories.
    The following Parcels, either wholly or in part, are proposed for 
deletion:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                  Acres
                            Parcels                              deleted
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parcel 1--Empire Biofuels Redevelopment.......................     368.6
Parcel 2--Seneca County Public Safety Building and Jail.......      25.2
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Parcel 1, also known as the Empire Biofuels Redevelopment area, is 
located midway on the western edge of SEDA. Most of this Parcel did not 
require remedial investigations under CERCLA. The two areas within 
Parcel 1 that were investigated under CERCLA are known as SEAD-58 and 
SEAD-24 [Comment 2]. SEAD-58 includes two debris disposal areas that 
have been found to require no active remediation under CERCLA. SEAD-24 
is a two-acre area that is not included in this proposed deletion and 
will remain on the NPL. SEAD-24 underwent a soil removal action in 2004 
and is awaiting a determination by EPA that all appropriate response 
actions have been implemented.
    Parcel 2, also known as the Seneca County Public Safety Building 
and Jail area, is located along the eastern perimeter of the SEAD Site 
in the southeast quadrant. The parcel encompasses two sub-parcel areas 
designated as SEAD-50 and SEAD-54, both of which have been remediated. 
Subsequent sampling of these two areas confirmed that all appropriate 
CERCLA response actions were performed. However, SEAD-50 and -54 are 
subject to Institutional Controls (ICs) because they are part of the 
encompassing Planned Industrial Development (PID) area [Comment 3].
    SEDA, which encompasses approximately 10,634 acres, includes 
property owned by the U. S. Department of Army, the Seneca County 
Industrial Development Agency (SCIDA), the local redevelopment 
authority, New York State Department of Corrections, U.S. Department of 
Homeland Security, Seneca County, and private entities. As part of the 
Base Realignment and Closure Act (BRAC), the Federal government has 
entered into agreements with SCIDA to transfer selected

[[Page 51760]]

properties for public and private reuse. Parcels 1 and 2 are currently 
owned by SCIDA.
    Seneca County, Empire Biofuels, Inc., and Flaum Management Company, 
Inc. requested this partial deletion to facilitate reuse of these 
Parcels. Summary reports submitted to EPA and the State have shown that 
all appropriate response actions with regard to the soil, soil vapor, 
structures, surface water, and ground water media for Parcels 1 and 2 
(with the exception of SEAD-24 area in Parcel 1) have been performed or 
that the conditions pose no significant threat to public health or the 
environment and therefore remedial measures are not appropriate. This 
notice is only for the Parcels specified herein and does not include 
any other real properties within the Site. Ongoing remedial 
investigations, remedial designs, and other soil, structures, surface 
water, and ground water cleanup activities will continue at the 
portions of the Site not included in this notice of intent to delete. 
All of those other portions of the Site remain on the NPL, including 
SEAD-24 within Parcel 1.
    The NPL is a list maintained by EPA of sites that EPA has 
determined present a significant risk to human health or welfare, or to 
the environment. Pursuant to 40 CFR 300.425(e) of the NCP, any site or 
portion of a site deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Superfund-
financed remedial actions if conditions at a site warrant such action.
    EPA will accept public comments concerning this notice of intention 
to partially delete portions of the Site for a period of thirty (30) 
days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register and a 
local newspaper of record.

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 all appropriate response actions have been performed 
or no significant threat to public health and the environment exists. 
In making this determination, EPA, in consultation with the State, will 
consider whether any of the following criteria have been met:
     Section 300.425(e)(1)(i). Responsible parties or other 
persons have implemented all appropriate response actions required; or
     Section 300.425(e)(1)(ii). All appropriate Fund-financed 
responses under CERCLA have been implemented and no further cleanup by 
responsible parties is appropriate; or
     Section 300.425(e)(1)(iii). The remedial investigation 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.
    Parcel 1, with the exception of SEAD-24, is proposed for deletion 
from the NPL because remedial investigations have shown that no 
significant threat to public health or the environment exists and 
therefore no remedial measures are appropriate.
    Parcel 2 is proposed for deletion from the NPL as all appropriate 
CERCLA response actions have been implemented at this area, and area-
related studies or remedial investigations have shown that no further 
cleanup is appropriate or necessary to protect public health or the 
environment.
    This partial deletion does not affect or impede any CERCLA response 
activities at areas of the Site that are not deleted and that remain on 
the NPL. Deletion of a portion of a site from the NPL does not itself 
create, alter, or revoke any person's rights or obligations. The NPL is 
designed primarily for informational purposes and to assist EPA 
management.

III. Deletion Procedures

    The following procedures were used for the intended deletion of 
Parcels 1 (excluding the SEAD-24 portion) and 2 from the Site:
    (1) The Site was listed on the NPL on August 30, 1990.
    (2) Historic records, field investigations, and other information 
at the Site were used to establish Areas of Concern which were later 
designated as Solid Waste Management Units (SWMUs), which are referred 
to at the Site as ``SEAD-.'' Over 100 SWMUs have been 
identified at the Site.
    (3) It has been determined that many areas of the Site did not 
experience any release of hazardous substances, did not require further 
investigations, and did not require designation as a SWMU. Some of the 
areas within Parcels 1 and 2 have not been identified as areas of 
concern and do not have a SEAD number designation.
    (4) Parcels 1 and 2 include four SWMUs: SEAD-24, -50, -54, and -58. 
SEAD-24, which lies within Parcel 1, is not proposed for deletion at 
this time. EPA has determined, however, that all appropriate response 
actions at SEAD-50, -54, and -58 have been implemented. These 
determinations were documented in Records of Decisions (RODs [Comment 
4]).
    (5) To facilitate transfer of property to the public and 
development of certain Parcels of the former SEDA facility, Empire 
Biofuels, Seneca County, and Flaum Management Company submitted a Draft 
Notice of Intent to Partial Deletion (NOIPD) package for Parcels 1 and 
2, excluding the SEAD-24 portion of Parcel 1.
    (6) Seneca County Industrial Development Agency has requested the 
deletion of the identified portions of Parcels 1 and 2.
    (7) EPA recommends this partial deletion and has prepared the 
relevant documents.
    (8) The State concurred with the deletion of these Parcels in a 
letter dated April 10, 2007.
    (9) Concurrent with this Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion, a 
notice has been published in a local newspaper of record and has been 
distributed to appropriate Federal, State, and local officials and to 
other interested parties. These notices announce a thirty (30) day 
public comment period on the partial deletion package, which commences 
on the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register and a 
local newspaper of record, whichever period is later.
    (10) EPA has made all relevant documents available at the 
information repositories listed above.
    Upon completion of the thirty (30) day public comment period, EPA 
will evaluate any comments received before the issuing a final decision 
on the partial deletion. If appropriate, EPA will prepare a 
Responsiveness Summary to address comments received during the public 
comment period responding to concerns presented in the comments. The 
Responsiveness Summary will be made available to the public at the 
information repositories listed above. If, after review of all public 
comments, EPA determines that this partial deletion from the NPL is 
appropriate, EPA will publish a final notice of deletion in the Federal 
Register. Deletion of the Parcels does not actually occur until the 
final Notice of Partial Deletion is published in the Federal Register.

IV. Basis for Intended Partial Site Deletion

Background

    SEDA encompasses approximately 10,634 acres, including all real 
property within the ``fence-line'' that surrounds SEDA. The military 
mission of the Site has varied over the years. In 1942, it was 
activated as the Seneca Ordnance Depot. The mission of the Depot 
included the storage, maintenance, and shipment of

[[Page 51761]]

material for the U.S. Army, the demilitarization of conventional 
ammunition, and the training of Reserve and National Guard units. The 
Depot was designated for closure in 1995 under the Base Realignment and 
Closure Act, resulting in deactivation of all military activities. The 
Depot's military mission officially ended in 2000.
    The Site was investigated by means of Areas of Concern which were 
later designated as SWMUs, which are referred to at the Site as SEAD-
s. The SEADs were identified based upon historic information 
and field investigations. Over 100 SWMUs have been identified at the 
Site. One or more SWMUs are located within each of the Parcels proposed 
for deletion. To be deleted from the NPL, EPA must determine that no 
response action or no further response action is appropriate.
    Over the years, various hazardous substances were used at the Site, 
and hazardous wastes were generated, stored, or disposed there. 
Numerous studies and investigations have been performed to locate, 
assess, and quantify the past storage, disposal, and spill areas of 
hazardous substance at the Site. These investigations include: records 
searches; interviews with base personnel; field inspections; 
compilation of waste inventory; evaluation of disposal practices; 
assessments to determine the nature and extent of site contamination; 
soil and groundwater analysis; a base-wide health assessment; base-
specific hydrology investigations; and various Site-specific 
investigations. Based upon such studies and information, the Site was 
included on the NPL on August 30, 1990. On January 21, 1993, the U.S. 
Army entered into a Site-specific Federal Facility Agreement with EPA 
and NYSDEC under Section 120 of CERCLA. By the terms of that Agreement, 
the Army was required to submit various reports concerning the Site to 
the State and EPA for review and comment. These reports addressed 
remedial activities required under CERCLA and included: The 
identification of SWMUs; scoping workplans, site inspections (SI) and 
remedial investigation (RI); sampling and analysis plans, quality 
assurance plans; baseline and mini-risk assessments; a community 
relations plan; and proposed plans and records of decisions.
    Environmental studies pertinent to this NOIPD relied on the 
following documents which were completed to facilitate the 
characterization and evaluation process required for deletion of 
selected parcels. These investigations/reports included:
     SWMU Classification Report, Final, September 1994;
     Expanded Site Inspection Eight Moderately Low Priority 
Areas of Concern--SEADs 5, 9, 12 (A/B), (43, 56, 69), 44 (A/B), 50, 58 
and 59, Draft--Final, December 1995;
     Environmental Baseline Survey Report Final, March 1997;
     Action Memorandum and Decision Document for Time-Critical 
Removal Actions Four Metals Sites (SEADs 24, 50/54 & 67), Final, August 
2002;
     Finding of Suitability to Transfer (FOST) for the PID and 
Warehouse Area, July 2003;
     FOST for the Conservation/Recreation Area, July 2003;
     Deed for SEAD-50/54, April 2004;
     Final ROD for the PID and Warehouse Area at Seneca Army

     Final ROD for no Further Action SWMUs (SEAD-50/54) at 
Seneca Army Depot Activity, September 2005;
     Final ROD for No Action SWMU (SEAD-58) and No Further 
Action SWMU (SEAD-63) at Seneca Army Depot Activity, September 2006;
     Request package for Partial Deletion from SCIDA, November 
2006;
     State concurrence letter, April 2007. [Comment 5]

    Based on the findings of the environmental studies documented in 
the reports above, the parcels proposed for deletion meet the deletion 
criteria. The history and current status of each SWMU within the 
Parcels proposed for deletion are summarized below.
Parcel 1--Empire Biofuels Redevelopment [Comment 6 ]
    This Parcel is comprised of approximately 368.6 acres and contains 
a portion (SEAD-58) that has been addressed under CERCLA [Comment 7]. A 
second area (SEAD-24), situated wholly within the boundaries of Parcel 
1, is not proposed for deletion at this time. SEAD-24 has undergone a 
soil removal action and is awaiting a final determination as to whether 
all appropriate response action has been implemented. A summary of 
SEAD-58 is provided as follows:
SEAD-58 Debris Area Near Booster Station
    Characterized as a debris area, SEAD-58 is located in the western-
central portion of SEDA and is the northern-most SWMU in the Empire 
Biofuels Redevelopment parcel. SEAD-58 encompasses two distinct debris 
disposal areas that vary in size from 200-300 feet in diameter. These 
areas were used for the disposal of miscellaneous waste purported to 
include the pesticide DDT.
    In 1994, an RI and supplemental Expanded Site Inspection (ESI) were 
initiated to characterize the full extent of environmental impacts 
specific to SEAD-58 and determine potential threats to human health and 
the environment. The investigations entailed the completion of a 
geophysical survey, a drilling program, test pit excavations, and an 
environmental sampling program designed to collect surface soil, 
surface water, sediment, subsurface soil, and groundwater media. Based 
upon the area specific analytical results evaluated for the May 2002 
Mini-Risk Assessment, the Army proposed ``No Action'' as a remedy.
    Subsequent to review by EPA and the State, the Final May 2002 
Decision Document was modified to incorporate technical comments 
deleting the need for land use restrictions for the two debris disposal 
areas. In September 2006, EPA, with the concurrence of the State, 
approved the May 2002 document in which it was determined that SEAD-58, 
with no land use restrictions, posed no significant risk to the human 
health or the environment. Approval of the ``No Action'' decision forms 
the basis to delete SEAD-58 from the NPL, and it affects all media 
(surface soils, subsurface soils, structures, surface water, and ground 
water).
SEAD-24 Abandoned Powder Burning Pit (Not To Be Delisted)
    SEAD-24, the Abandoned Powder Burning Pit, is located in the west-
central portion of SEDA. The burning pit comprises an area measuring 
approximately 325 feet by 150 feet that is surrounded on the east, 
south, and west by a berm approximately 4 feet high. The area is 
bounded to the north by West Kendaia Road and by open grassland and 
brush.
    The Abandoned Powder Burning Pit was active during the 1940s and 
1950s. Although operating practices at this area are undocumented, it 
is presumed that black powder, M10 and M16 solid propellants, and 
explosive trash were disposed here through controlled burning. It was 
further presumed that petroleum hydrocarbon fuel was used to ignite the 
burn.
    An ESI was performed at SEAD-24 between 1993 and 1994. The ESI 
combined geophysical surveys and intrusive methods to characterize the 
nature and extent of the contaminants present there. During intrusive

[[Page 51762]]

operations, environmental samples of soil and groundwater were 
collected.
    Of the fifty-seven different analytes for soil, three semi-volatile 
organic compounds and fourteen metals were present at concentrations 
that exceeded cleanup objectives. The highest concentrations were 
primarily limited to surface soil samples.
    The ground water sampling results suggested no impact to the ground 
water near the Abandoned Powder Burning Pit.
    A time-critical removal action was conducted between 2002 and 2006 
to reduce metal and carcinogenic PAHs contamination in soils. 
Regulatory review of this action is in progress.
Parcel 2--Seneca County Jail [Comment 8]
    This 25.2 acre parcel is located in the southeast quadrant of SEDA, 
along its eastern perimeter. The parcel encompasses two SMWUs 
designated SEAD-50 and SEAD-54, of which 22 acres have been remediated 
under CERCLA. Investigations were completed to identify potential 
environmental impacts at each SWMU and were supplemented with risk 
evaluations that ultimately determined no further action was required 
for these SWMUs. Based on investigations and remedial activities 
performed with EPA and State approval and oversight, the SWMUs 
described below are proposed for deletion from the NPL.
SEAD-50 and SEAD-54 Tank Farm Area
    Characterized as a former tank farm area, approximately 160 above-
ground storage tanks were once located within the triangular shaped 
land tract known as SEAD-50/54. The preliminary investigation of the 
area, which was performed in 1993, was reported in the SWMU 
Classification Report, and as a result it was identified as a SWMU. The 
area which was subsequently identified as SEAD-50 was used for dry 
material storage that included stockpiles of strategic ores such as 
antimony, rutile, and silicon carbide. One storage tank (Tank 
88) contained asbestos ore material and was assigned a 
separate SEAD designation (SEAD-54). All tanks were removed prior to 
implementing a phased program of investigation, evaluation, and 
remediation.
    In 1994, an RI and supplemental ESI were performed to characterize 
the full extent of environmental impacts specific to the SEAD-50/54 
area and determine potential threats to human health and the 
environment. The investigations entailed the completion of a 
geophysical survey, a drilling program, test pit excavations, and an 
environmental sampling program designed to collect surface soil, 
subsurface soil, surface water, sediment, and groundwater media. 
Analytical results identified elevated concentrations of selected 
metals (arsenic, lead, manganese, potassium, and zinc) in tank farm 
soil materials that were determined to represent a potential 
environmental threat. A time-critical removal action was performed from 
late 2002 to early 2003 to excavate, remove, and dispose of impacted 
soil material from SEAD-50/54. The ``Final Completion Report'' for 
SEAD-50/54, which documented findings of the removal action and 
confirmatory sampling results, presented data supporting a 
determination that SEAD-50/54 no longer poses a threat to human health 
and the environment.
    EPA, with the concurrence of the State, approved a remedy in 
September 2005 which required ``No Further Action'' for SEADs-50/54. 
The remedy required that the PID and Warehouse Areas, including SEADs-
50/54, be subject to controls restricting future residential 
development and groundwater use. Accordingly, the recorded deed for 
this Parcel contains the land use restrictions on land and groundwater 
use. [Comment 9] These land use controls are considered CERCLA actions 
and are included among the documents which are the basis for this 
action.
Major Community Involvement Activities
    The Army published its Community Relations Plan in October 1992 and 
created a Restoration Advisory Board to facilitate participation of and 
input from the public throughout the CERCLA cleanup process. Each 
decision document at the Site has been made available for public 
comment, discussed at public meetings, and placed in the information 
repository before the decision document was finalized.
