Re: 	Notification of Intent to Delete Former McKin Company Superfund Site in Gray, Maine from the National Priorities List
	Former McKin Company Superfund Site
	25 Mayall Road, Gray ME 04039
	EPA ID: MED980524078

Dear Ms. Loyzim:

This is to notify you that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Region 1 is proposing to delete the Former McKin Company Superfund Site, located in Gray, Maine from the National Priorities List (NPL). The U.S. EPA and the State of Maine, through the Department of Environmental Protection (MEDEP), have determined that all appropriate response actions under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), other than operation and maintenance, monitoring, and Five-Year Reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.
 
EPA, with the concurrence of MEDEP, will publish a Notice of Intent to Delete (NOID) the Site from the NPL in the Federal Register this month. Assuming no substantive adverse comments are received, EPA will delete the Site from the NPL by the end of summer. EPA will keep you apprised of the deletion process. Whether or not the Site is deleted, the Settling Defendants under the 2001 Amended Consent Decree will continue to perform long-term monitoring, and operation and maintenance, while U.S. EPA will continue to conduct Five-Year Reviews at the Site. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you all for your time and continued support. 

Please contact Charlotte Gray, U.S. EPA's community involvement coordinator, at gray.charlotte@epa.gov and/or 617-918-1243 or myself Bryant.John@epa.gov and/or 617-918-1375 with any questions you may have.
