PURPOSE
The purpose of this guidance is to define the requirements
for partial deletions at National Priorities List (NPL) sites.
BACKGROUND
The Partial Deletions rule, which allows EPA to delete
releases at portions of NPL sites, provided that deletion
criteria are met, was published in the Federal Register on
November 1, 1995. A copy of this notice is attached (Attachment
A). Previously, EPA's policy had been to delete releases only
after evaluation of the entire site. However, deletion of entire
sites does not communicate the successful cleanup of portions of
those sites. Total site cleanup may take many years, while

portions of the site may have been cleaned up and may be
available for productive use. Some potential investors or
developers may be reluctant to undertake economic activity at
even a cleaned-up portion of real property that is part of a site
listed on the NPL. Therefore, EPA will delete portions of sites,
as appropriate, and will consider petitions to do so.
IMPLEMENTATION
In order to accurately portray these successes, we must
ensure that the information is consistent and accurate. For this
reason, it is important for OERR to obtain relevant locational
information. This information will be centrally housed in the
Superfund NPL Assessment Program (SNAP) database. If you are
interested in obtaining a copy of the SNAP database, please
contact Larry Zaragoza at (703) 603-8867. Once it has been
determined that no further response is appropriate and a release
can be deleted from the NPL (See 40 CFR 300.425(e)), Regions must
submit a hardcopy and electronic version of the information
delineated in Attachment B. Please send this information to
Terry Keidan of OERR at mail code 5204G. Terry can be reached at
(703) 603-8852. Your Regional CIS coordinators and response
action contractors will be able to assist Remedial Project
Managers in compiling this critical information. A sample
partial deletion map has been provided for you (see Attachment
C). Region 6 has already met the locational data requirements
and published the first partial deletion Notice of Intent to
Delete (NOID) in the Federal Register on April 11, 1996 (see
Attachment D).
These submissions will provide a national compilation of the
total area that has been subject to the partial deletion policy
and improve our information on site locations. A Quality
Assurance review will be conducted on these materials by
Headquarters. Approval for publication of the NOID will be given
once the accuracy of the locational information is verified.
Please contact Larry Zaragoza if you have any questions regarding
the required locational data. Questions regarding procedures for
tracking partial deletions in CERCLIS should be forwarded to
Randy Hippen at (703) 603-8829.
The criteria for site deletion are outlined in 40 CFR
300.425(e). Partial deletion dictates stricter mapping and
tracking requirements, however, follows the same criteria and
procedures as total site deletion. The NOID and Deletion Notice
for partial deletion should be written in the same manner as
those for total site deletion. An example of a partial deletion
NOID is attached (Attachment D).
In addition to partial deletions, these mapping procedures
can be applied to outline and emphasize clean parcels of property
contiguous to contaminated parcels included in the NPL site.
This will foster a clearer public understanding of exactly what
-------
property is- and is not included in the NPL listing. In this way,
we can define the boundaries of the site and exclude those
parcels that were never contaminated. More precise mapping will
accomplish this goal efficiently without having to go through
formal partial deletion procedures.
Partial deletions are an effective way to communicate the
clean-up success of the Agency, as well as to promote the reuse
and development of these properties. Please contact Terry Keidan
with any questions regarding the partial deletion policy.

SB-95-1-OPS (for Santa Barbara), and
CA-VT-94-1-OPS (for Ventura)
maintained at the EPA Regional Office.
Each docket is an organized and
complete file of all the information
submitted to. or otherwise considered
by, EPA in the development of this final
interim approval. The dockets are
available for public inspection at the
location listed under the ADDRESSES
section of this document.
B. Executive Order 12866
The Office of Management and Budget
has exempted this action from Executive
Order 12866 review.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The EPA's actions under sections 502
and 112 of the Act do not create any
new requirements, but simply address
operating permit programs submitted to
satisfy the requirements of 40 CFR part
70. Because these actions do not impose
any new requirements, they do not have
a significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
D Unfunded Mandates
Under Section 202 of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995
("Unfunded Mandates Act"), signed
into law on March 22.1995. EPA must
prepare a budgetary impact statement to
accompany any proposed or final rule
that includes a federal mandate that
may result in estimated costs to state.
local, or tribal governments in the
aggregate: or to the pnvate sector, of
S100 million or more. Under Section
205. EPA must select the most cost-
effective and least burdensome
alternative that achieves the objectives
of the rule and is consistent with
statutory requirements. Section 203
requires EPA to establish a plan for
informing and advising any small
governments that may be significantly
or uniquely impacted by the rule.
EPA nas determined that the interim
approval action promulgated today does
not include a federal mandate that may
result in estimated costs of S100 million
or more to either state, local, or tribal
governments in the aggregate, or to the
private sector. This federal action
approves pre-existing requirements
under state or local law, and imposes no
new federal requirements. Accordingly,
no additional costs to state, local, or
tribal governments, or to the private
sector, result from this action.

Notice of Policy Change: Partial
Deletion of Sites Listed on the National
Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice of policy change.
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is changing its policy
concerning deletion of sites listed on the
National Priorities List (NPL), or
Superfund sites. EPA will now delete
releases of hazardous substances at
portions of sites, if those releases qualify
for deletion. Sites, or portions of sites.
that meet the standard provided in the
National Oil and Hazardous Substances
Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). i.e..
no further response is appropriate, may
be the subject of entire or partial
deletion. EPA expects that this action
will help to promote the economic
redevelopment of Superfund sites, and
will better communicate the completion
of successful partial cleanups.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 1.1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Hugo Paul Fleischman. (5203G), U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, 401
M St.. S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460;

is the Superfund Hotline; 1-800-424-

Washington, D.C. area. (703) 412-9810).
(TDD 703-412-3323).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With State
concurrence. EPA may delete sites from
the NPL when it determines that no
further response is appropriate under
the Comprehensive Environmental
Response. Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980 (CERCLA). See 40 CFR
300.425(e). In making that
determination. EPA typically considers:
whether responsible or other parties
have implemented all appropriate and
required response actions; whether all
appropriate Fund-financed responses
under CERCLA have been implemented
and EPA has determined that no further
cleanup by responsible parties is
appropriate; or whether the release of
hazardous substances poses no
significant threat to the public health.
welfare or the environment, thereby
eliminating the need for remedial
action.
To date. EPA policy has been to delete
releases only after evaluation of the
entire site. However, deletion of entire
sites does not communicate the
successful cleanup of portions of those
sites. Total site cleanup may take many
years, while portions of the site may
have been cleaned up and may be
available for productive use. Some
potential investors or developers may be
reluctant to undertake economic activity
at even a cleaned-up portion of real
property that is part of a site listed on
the NPL.
Therefore. EPA will delete portions of
sites, as appropriate, and will consider
petitions to do so. Such petitions may
be submitted by any person, including
individuals, business entities. States.
local governments, and other Federal
agencies. Partial deletion will also be
governed by 40 CFR 300.425(e). State
concurrence will continue to. thus, be a
requirement for any partial deletion.
-------
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 1, 1995 / Rules and Regulations 5S467
EPA will consider partial deletion for
portions of sites when no further
response is appropriate for that portion
of the site. Such portion may be a
defined geographic unit of the site,
perhaps as small as a residential unit, or
may be a specific medium at the site,
e.g., ground water, depending on the
nature or extent of the release(s).
Again, EPA wishes to emphasize that
the primary purpose of the NPL is to
serve as an informational and
management tool. Whether property is
part of an NPL site is unrelated to
CERCLA liability because neither NPL
listing nor deletion assigns liability to
any party or to the owner of any specific
property. Liability under CERCLA is
determined under CERCLA section 107,
which makes no reference to NPL listing
or deletion. Listing or deleting a site
from the NPL does not create CERCLA
liability where it would not otherwise
exist. As with entire sites, deleted
portions of sites remain eligible for
further Fund-financed remedial actions
should future conditions warrant such
action. Whenever there is a significant
release from a site or portion of a site
deleted from the NPL, the site or portion
may be restored to the NPL without
application of the Hazard Ranking
System. See 40 CFR 300.425(e)(3).

[Docket No. FEMA-7156]
Changes in Flood Elevation
Determinations
AGENCY: Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
ACTION: Interim rule.
SUMMARY: This interim rule lists
communities where modification of the
base (1% annual chance) flood
elevations is appropriate because of new
scientific or technical data. New flood
insurance premium rates will be
calculated from the modified base flood
elevations for new buildings and their
contents.
DATES: These modified base flood
elevations are currently in effect on the
dates listed in the table and revise the
Flood Insurance Rate Map(s) in effect
prior to this determination for each
listed community.
From the date of the second
publication of these changes in a
newspaper of local circulation, any
person has ninety (90) days in which to
request through the community that the
Associate Director, Mitigation
Directorate, reconsider the changes. The
modified elevations may be changed
dunng the 90-day period.
ADDRESSES: The modified base flood
elevations for each community are
available for inspection at the office of
the Chief Executive Officer of each
community. The respective addresses
are listed in the following table.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Michael K. Buckley. P.E.. Chief, Hazard
Identification Branch. Mitigation
Directorate. 500 C Street, SW,
Washington. DC 20472. (202) 646-2756.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
modified base flood elevations are not
listed for each community in this
interim rule. However, the address of
the Chief Executive Officer of the
community where the modified base
flood elevation determinations are .•
available for inspection is provided.
Any request for reconsideration must
be based upon knowledge of changed
conditions, or upon new scientific or
technical data.
The modifications are made pursuant
to Section 201 of the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105,
and are in accordance with the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968,42 U.S.C.
4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR Part 65.
For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown
and must be used for all new policies
and renewals.
The modified base flood elevations
are the basis for the floodplain
management measures that the
community is required to either adopt
or to show evidence of being already in
effect in order to qualify or to remain
qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFTP).
These modified elevations, together
with the floodplain management criteria
required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the
minimum that are required. They
should not be construed to mean that
the community must change any
existing ordinances that are more
stringent in their floodplain
management requirements. The
community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own. or
pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities.
The changes in base flood elevations
are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
National Environmental Policy Act
This rule is categorically excluded
from the requirements of 44 CFR Part
10. Environmental Consideration. No
environmental impact assessment has
been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Associate Director, Mitigation
Directorate, certifies that this rule is
exempt from the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act because
modified base flood elevations are
required by the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973.42 U S.C. 4105.
and are required to maintain community
eligibility in the NFTP. No regulatory
flexibility analysis has been prepared.
Regulatory Classification
This interim rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of
Section 3(0 of Executive Order 12866 of
September 30,1993, Regulatory
Planning and Review, 58 FR 51735

Partial NPL Site Deletion
Data Collection Form
General Form Instructions
The Partial NPL Site Deletion Data Collection Form is designed to standardize partial site
deletion information for input into the Superfund NPL Assessment Program (SNAP) data base.
This data base serves as a repository for general information about NPL sites and is used to
respond to queries about NPL sites from a variety of sources including the general public, the
media, other government agencies, and members of Congress. The primary source materials for
completing this form are the Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion (NOID), site information
supporting the decision to delete this portion of the site, and electronic locational data.
Requirements for submitting electronic locational data are included in EPA's Locational Data
Policy.
As you complete the Partial NPL Site Deletion Data Collection Form, keep the following points
in mind.
» Please complete the form in ink, and print legibly.
» Use the most current level of information available (e.g., Rl-level information has priority
over HRS package-level information).
» Try to use the listed response options when answering a question, and use "unknown" and
"other" responses only when absolutely necessary. If, however, the available response
options for a question are not adequate to accurately describe the site, use the "other"
response and provide a brief explanation in the space provided.
» Use the margins to explain responses that do not match listed response options or to
provide clarifying information.
Please respond to all questions with the answer that you believe best represents the site
conditions, given the information available at the time the NOID is prepared. Do not skip
questions except where specifically directed to do so.
Information and Data Requirements for Partial Deletions
The State, Tribal, and Site Identification Center (Center) has distributed procedures on how to
document partial site deletions. The data requirements are clearly outlined in those procedures,
but also reiterated here.
The Regions are required to submit a NOID. This documentation provides useful information
related to the site boundary and characteristics if coordinate information is deficient in the
electronic version.
-------
Along with the NOID, the partial deletion package should also include the following items:
» A map clearly showing the entire site and that portion to be deleted (including scale);
» Site coordinates (latitude and longitude) for at least three reference points on the map.
» Landmarks, such as roads, water bodies, waste operations, or residential areas (these
facilitate reading the map).
*• Contacts for both the partial deletion decision and the electronic data.
The above materials are to be provided in both hard and electronic copy. Electronic files in
ARC/INFO, Maplnfo, GIS+, or those mentioned below are acceptable. If mapping information
is not available in these packages, the Center should be contacted to determine how to submit the
electronic information.
Electronic files submitted with the partial deletion package should:
» Include all vector/raster layers for the site necessary to recreate a map;
» Include all attribute information associated with the data layers;
» Be delivered in one of the following formats:
1. ARC/INFO native or export (.EDO) format,
2. ArcView shape files
3. Maplnfo native Maplnfo Interchange Format (MIF), Maplnfo Boundary Interchange
File (MBI). or Maplnfo Map Interchange Format (MMI)
4. GIS+ native
5. AutoCAD DXF format
6. ASCII delimited file (include data structure and format for recreation)
If electronic files are to be delivered in a format other than one of those identified in the list
above, obtain prior approval from EPA Headquarters. To facilitate the integration of data into
these systems it is important that coding of geographic coordinates and associated attributes be
standardized.
The site map must be dated. The date is to reflect the delineation of the boundaries of the site as
of the date prepared, including the portion to be deleted. Geographic coordinates of points
describing a specific object (e.g., operable unit or portion of the site to be delisted) should be
included.
-------
Additional Information
A printout of locational data fields for each data layer in the electronic files should be provided
with the electronic files. The printout should include:
l Projection of data - Map projections allow areas on the surface of the Earth (a spheroid) to be
represented on a map (a flat surface) while minimizing distortion. This information is
important because it represents the geometric accuracy of the data and it is critical in
determining the measurement accuracy.
2. Units of Measure - Map units are the units in which the coordinates of the spatial data
represented in your image are stored. They may be in kilometers, inches, feet, etc.
3. Projection Spheroid -Defines the shape of the spheroid for calculating the transformation of
coordinates from a particular shape.
4. Projection Zone (i.e. UTM 11 or State Plane Zone 1101 Maryland East) - Identify the map
projection or coordinate system used in creating the map. Map projections allow areas on the
surface of the Earth (a spheriod) to be represented on a map (a flat surface).
5. Horizontal Datum - A datum is a set of parameters defining a coordinate system, and a set of
control points whose geometric relationships are known, either through measurement or
calculation.
6. False Northing/False Easting - Any offset on the x and/or y axis applied to coordinates of the
data.
7. Source - Describe the source of the geographic data used in creating the file.
8. Source Scale - Map scale is the relationship between the dimensions of a map and the
dimensions of the Earth. It is usually expressed as a ratio between a distance on the map and
a distance on the Earth, like 1:63,360.
9. Point-Line-Area - Predominant feature type of data (i.e., a point feature may represent a
monitor well or a benchmark, a line feature may represent a street, a polygon feature may
represent a body of water or an area of contamination).
10. Method of collection - Describe the methodology used in collecting the data (i.e., scanning,
manual, digitizing, GPS, etc.).
11. Description and structure of data and any attribute information.
Although not required, the following additional locational data is useful:
1. Accuracy value & unit
2. Xmin, Ymin, Xmax, Ymax of data layer
3. Precision of Data
4. Source Projection
5. Source Units of Measure
6. Source Projection Spheroid
7. Source Horizontal Datum

I. Introduction
The United States U: 'ronmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6
announces its intent to delete a portion
of the RSR Corporation Superfund Site
(RSR Site) located in, Dallas, Dallas
County, Texas. (Figure 1) from the
National Priorities List (NPL). which

Federal Register / Vol. 61. No. 71 / Thursday. April 11. 1996 / Proposed Rules 16O71
In OU Nos. 1 and 2. extensive
sampling and risk assessments have
been completed at all private and public
residential properties and residential
high risk areas and cleanups performed
to remove contamination related to a
former secondary lead smelter to
residential action levels. In OU No. 1
EPA implemented investigations and
response actions at residential
properties where property owners
granted voluntary access for the
performance of the activities. Of
approximately 1.000 residential
property owners only 30 refused to
provide EPA voluntary access for the
response activities. Since it is EPA's
policy not to conduct response activities
at private residential property without
first obtaining permission from the
resident. EPA did not perform certain
CERCLA response actions at the
locations where access was denied.
Based on the investigation and cleanup
efforts, on May 9.1995. EPA issued a
Record of Decision for OU No. 1 stating
that no further action is necessary to
protect human health and the
environment. Similarly, baaed on
extensive investigations and cleanup
efforts in OU No. 2. on May 9,1995.
EPA issued a Record of Decision for OU
No. 2 stating that no further action is
necessary to protect human health and
the environment in-OU No. 2.
EPA proposes to delete OU Nos. 1 and
2 because all appropriate CERCLA
response activities have been completed
. in those areas. However, response
activities at OU Nos. 3.4. and 5 of the
RSR Site are not yet complete, and OU
Nos. 3.4. and S will remain on the NPL
and are not the subject of this partial
deletion.
The NPL is a list maintained by EPA
of sites that EPA has determined 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). Pursuant
to 40 CFR 300.425(e) of the NCP. any
site or portion of a site deleted from the
NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed
remedial actions if conditions at the site
warrant such action. .
EPA will accept comments
concerning its intent for partial deletion
for thiuy (30) days after publication of
this notice in the Federal Register and
a newspaper of record.
n. NPL Deletion Criteria
The NCP establishes the criteria that
EPA uses to delete sites from the NFL.
In accordance with 40 CFR 300.42S(e).
sites may be deleted from the NPL '
when no further response is
appropriate to protect public health or
the environment in making such a
determination pursuant to § 300.425(e).
EPA will consider, in consultation with
the State, whether any of the following
criteria have been met:
Section 300.425(e)(l)(i). Responsible
parties or other persons have
implemented all appropriate response
actions required: or
Section 300.42S(e)(l](ii). All
appropriate Fund-financed response
under CERCLA has been implemented,
and no further response action Ly
responsible parties is appropriate; or
Section 300.42S(e)(l)(iii). The
remedial investigation has shown that
the release poses no significant threat to
public health or the environment and.
therefore, taking of remedial measures is
not appropriate.
Deletion of a portion of a site from the
NPL does not preclude eligibility for
subsequent Fund-financed actions at the
area deleted if future site conditions
warrant such actions. Section
30O.42S(e)(3) of the NCP provides that
Fund-financed actions may be taken at
sites that have been deleted from the
NPL. A partial deletion of a site from the
NPL does not effector impede EPA's
ability to conduct CERCLA response
activities at areas not deleted and
remaining on the NPL. In addition.
deletion of a portion of a site from the
NPL does not afreet the liability of
responsible parties or impede agency
efforts to recover costs associated with
response efforts.
m. Deletion Procedures
-•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 Agency management
The following procedures were used
for the proposed deletion of OU Nos. 1
and 2 of the RSR Site:
(1) EPA has recommended the partial
deletion and has prepared the relevant
documents.
\2} The State of Texas|thxough TNROC
concurred by letter dated January 8,
1996. with this partial deletion.
(3) Concurrent with this national
Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion, a
notice has been published in a
newspaper of record and has been
distributed to appropriate federal. State.
and local officials, and other interested
parties. These notices announce a thirty
(30) day public comment period on the
deletion package, which commences on
the date of publication of this notice in
the Federal Register and a newspaper of
record.
(4) EPA has made all relevant
documents available at the information
repositories listed previously.
This Federal Register notice, and a
concurrent notice in a newspaper of
record, announce the initiation of a
thirty (30) day public comment period
and the availability of the Notice of
Intent for Partial Deletion. The public is
asked to comment on EPA's proposal to
delete OU Nos. 1 and 2 from the NPL.
All critical documents needed to
evaluate EPA's decision are included in
the Deletion Docket and are available for
review at the information repositories.
Upon completion of the thirty (30)
day public comment period. EPA will
evaluate all comments received before
issuing the final decision on the partial
deletion. EPA will prepare a
Responsiveness Summary for comments
received during the public comment
period and will address concerns
presented in the comments. The
Responsiveness Summary will be made
available to the p. jlic at the
information repositories listed
previously. Members of the public are
encouraged to contact EPA Region 6 to
obtain a copy of the Responsiveness
Summary. If. after review of ell public
comments. EPA determines that the
partial deletion from the NPL is
appropriate. EPA will publish a final
notice of partial deletion in the Federal
Register. Deletion of OU Nos. 1 and 2
does not actually occur until the final
in the Federal Register.
IV. Basis tor Intended Partial Site
The following provides EPA's
rationale for deletion of OU Nos. l and
2 from the NPL and EPA's finding that
the criteria in 40 CFR 300.425(e) are
satisfied: •
Background
The RSR Site is located in west
Dallas. Texas and encompasses an area
of approximately 13.6 square miles. The
RSR Site is very diverse and includes
large single and multi-family residential
neighborhoods, multi-family public
housing anas and some industrial.
Contamination at the RSR Site
originated from the operation of a
secondary lead smelter facility located
in the heart of west Dallas for
.Specifically.
i RSR Site resulted
from (he fallout of historical air
emissions from the smelter stack, from
the use by residents of leaa slag and
battery casing chips as Gil material in
residential driveways and yards and
from the disposal of smelter wastes in
-------
16072 Federal Register / Vol. 61. No. 71 / Thursday. April 11. 1996 / Proposed Rules
several disposal areas, including two
locations operated as local municipal
landfills. Lead, cadmium and arsenic
are the primary contaminants of concern
at the RSR Site.
In order to expedite Superfund
response actions at this large site.
especially with regard to the residential
areas. EPA divided the RSk Site into
five Operable Units (OUs), Figure 1:
• OU No. 1—Private Residential
Properties
• OU No. 2—Dallas Housing
Authority (DMA) Prooerty
• OU No. 3—Slag Piles/Landfills
• OU No. 4—Smelter Facility
• OU No. 5—Otho-r Industrial
Property Associated with the Smelter
EPA has been investigating,
conducting human health risk
assessments and making CERCLA
response action decisions for each OU
separately.
OU No. 1 includes private residential
properties and high risk locations such
as schools, church play areas, parks, ^nd
day care facilities. Industrial,
commercial, and retail establishments
are not included in OU No. 1. OU No.
1 is bounded on the north and east by
the Trinity River, on the south by Ft.
Worth Avenue, and on the west by Stalu
Highway Loop 12 (Walton Walker Blvd.)
and the Dallas city limits at the levee
(approximately Vfe mile west of Loop
12). OU No. 1 includes primarily single
and multi-family housing and has a
population of approximately 17,000.
Operable Unit No. 2 is an area owned
and operated by the Dallas Housing
Authority (DHA), which encompasses
approximately 460 acres within the RSR
Site. The OU No. 2 site is bounded by
Westmoreland Road to the west,
Hampton Road to the east, Canada Drive
to the north and Singleton Boulevard to
the south. OU No. 2 includes primarily
public multi-family housing, schools,
parks, recreation facilities, and a day
care center.
For approximately 50 years,
secondary lead smelting operations
were conducted at the smelter facility
located near the center of the RSR Site.
An extensive review of available
historical information concerning the
smelter's operation indicates that from
approximately 1934 until 1971, the lead
smelting facility was-owned and/or
operated by Murph Metals. Inc. or its
predecessors. In 1971. RSR Corporation
acquired the Jead smelting operation -
and operated the smelter under the
name Murph Metals until March 1984
when a Federal Trade Commission •
divestiture order resulted In the
acquisition of the smelter in May 1984
by the current owner. Murmur
Corporation. In 1983, the City of Dallas
declined to renew the smelter's
operating permit. This decision was
based on the smelter's historic
operational practices and changes in the
City's zoning ordinance restrictions. As
a result, the smelter closed in 1984 and
has not operated since that time.
The smelter facility currently consists
of two properties separated by
Westmoreland Road. The smelter
building, stack and other associated
buildings, which are no longer in use,
are situated on one property (OU No. 4),
while a disassembled battery wrecking
building and abandoned disposal areas
exist on the property across
Westmoreland Road (OU No. 5).
Currently, Murmur Corporation is
conducting the only active site
operations, which consist of a lead
manufacturing and fabricating facility
producing lead shot and lead sheets for
hospital x-ray rooms.
As a result of a lawsuit brought by the
City of Dallas and the Texas Air Control
Board against RSR Corporation and
Murph Metals, in 1983 RSR/Murph by
court order was required to fund a
cleanup of the residential community
within one-half mile of the smelter. The
cleanup was conducted from 1984
through 1985 and required the removal
and offsite disposal of soils in
residential areas and public play areas
and day care centers that exceeded
approximately 1,000 ppm lead
concentration. The cleanup action
conducted from 1984 -(trough 1985
exceeded recommendations made by the
Center for Disease Control (CDC) and
was considered a protective and
appropriate action at that time.
Concerns about lead contamination in
the west Dallas area re-emerged in 1991
when TNRCC (formerly the Texas Water
Commission) began receiving
complaints from area residents about
residual slag piles and battery chips
allegedly originating from the former
RSR Corporation facility in areas
beyond the original cleanup area. In
addition, in 1991 the CDC lowered the
blood lead level of concern.
Consequently, TNRCC requested that
EPA re-evaluate the areal extent* of
smelter contamination in west Dallas.^
On May 10,1993. EPA proposed to
add the RSR Corporation Site to the
National Priorities List (NPL) of
Superfund sites (58 Fed. Reg. 27,507).
The final listing was published in the
Federal Register on September 29.1995
(60 FR 50435). .
OUNO. 1 Response Actions
EPA began soil sampling in west
Dallas in 1991 to determine the
presence* of soil contamination from the
RSR smelter. Results indicated that
areas previously cleaned in the 1980s
were not recontammated and did not
require further cleanup, but that
contamination existed beyond the area
formerly addressed in areas near the
smelter and in areas where battery chips
were used as fill. Consequently. EPA
initiated an emergency removal action
in the residential and high risk areas
(designated OU No. 1) consisting of
removal and offsite disposal of soils and
debns contaminated in excess of the
residential removal action cleanup
levels of 500 ppm lead, or 20 ppm
arsenic, or 30 ppm cadmium. EPA
conducted removal activities at 420
residential properties and high risk
areas at OU No. 1 of the RSR Site from
October 1991 to June 1994.
In addition to the removal action, EPA
conducted a remedial investigation and
a baseline human health nsk assessment
at OU No. 1 to determine the extent of
contamination and long-term cleanup
goals for OU No. 1. On i.Iay 9.1995.
based on the results of these studies and
the completion of the removal action
EPA. issued a ROD for OU No. 1
presenting EPA's decision that no
further CERCLA action is -'ecessary to
protect human health and the
environment.
All of the response actions at OU No.
1 were conducted using funds from the
Hazardous Substance Superfund.
OU NO. 2 Response Actions
On August 9,1993, EPA entered into
a CERCLA Ad.i....~strative Order on
Consent (AOC), Docket No. 6-21-93.
with DHA, under which DHA agreed to
conduct a remedial investigation and
feasibility study (RI/FS) and, in
addition, to conduct demolition and
removal actions at OU No. 2. Under the
AOC, DHA was required to perform the
removal and demolition activities in the
same manner and in accordance with
the removal action performed by EPA at
the residential areas in OU No. 1.
Pursuant to the AOC. DHA excavated
and removed contaminated soils with
concentrations equal to or in excess of
residential action levels, and disposed
of those sofls in appropriate and
permitted offsite landfills. In addition,
DHA demolished 167 buildings using
methods" approved by EPA to prevent
public exposure to contaminants that
may have been contained in the
building materials. DHA's demolition
and removal actions were performed
with the oversight and approval of EPA
and. ware completed in March 1995.
-TNRCC also provided, oversight support,
and DHA coordinated end received
from TNRCC for the disposal
materials to ofisite landfill facilities.
-------
Federal Register / Vol. 61. No. 71 / Thursday. April 11. 1996 / Proposed Rules 16073
Concurrent with DHA's investigation
and removal activities. EPA conducted
a human health risk assessment for OU
No. 2. Based on the results of these
studies and on the completion of the
removal and demolition activities, on
May 9.1995. EPA issued a ROD for OU
No. 2 presenting its decision that no
further CERCLA action is necessary to
protect human health and the
environment at OU No. 2.
Community Involvement
Public participation activities for OU
Nos. 1 and 2 have been satisfied as
required in CERCLA Section 113(k). 42
U.S.C. § 9613(k). and Section 117.42
U.S.C. § 9617. The Remedial
Investigation Reports. Baseline Human
Health Risk Assessment Reports and the
Proposed Plans for OU Nos. 1 and 2
were released to the public on
November 18.1994. These documents
as well as other documents and
information EPA relied on or considered
in recommending that no further action
was necessary at these OUs were
compiled for OU Nos. 1 and 2 and were
made available to the public on or
before November IB. 1994. Such
documents have been available to the
public in the three RSR Site information
repositories. The notice of the
availability of the Proposed Plan and
supporting documents was published in
The Dallas Morning News on November
14.1994. The public comment period
was held from November 18.1994
through January 18.1995. A Public
meeting was held on December 1.1994.
to receive public comments from the
community. In addition, legal and
technical representatives from EPA
participated in a radio talk show on
January 15.1995. to receive public
comments and answer Questions from
citizens. Responses to all comments
received during the public comment
period axe included in the
Responsiveness Summary attached to
the RODs for OU Nos. 1 and 2.
On May 9.1995. EPA issued a ROD
for OU No. 1 and a ROD for OU No. 2
presenting EPA's decisions that no
further action is necessary at OU Nos. 1
and 2 of the RSR Site in Dallas. Texas
for protection of human health and the
environment. EPA's decisions an based
on information contained in the final
Administrative Records for OU Nos. 1
and 2. The final Administrative Records
for the two OUs are available at the RSR
Site information repositories.
Current Status
Based on the successfufcompletion of
EPA's and DHA's removal actions and
the extensive investigations and risk
assessments performed for both OU No.
1 and OU No. 2. there are no further
response actions planned or scheduled
for these OUs. Pursuant to the NCP. a
five-year review will not need to be
performed at OU Nos. 1 and 2.
While EPA does not believe that any
future response actions in OU Nos. 1
and 2 will be needed, if future
conditions warrant such action, the
proposed deletion areas of the RSR Site
remain eligible for future Fund-financed
response actions. Furthermore, this
partial deletion does not alter the status
of OU Nos. 3.4. and 5 of the RSR Site
which are not proposed for deletion and
remain on the NPL.
EPA. with concurrence from the State
of Texas, has determined that all
appropriate CERCLA response actions
have been completed at OU Nos. l and
2 and protection of human health and
the environment has been achieved in
these areas. Therefore, EPA makes this
proposal to delete only OU Nos. 1 and
2 of the RSR Corporation Superfund Site
from the NPL.
