EPA Comments on the <br /> Sharpe Site <br /> Final Installation-Wide Preliminary Close Out Report <br /> September 2002 <br /> The Response to Comments (RTC) contained in the Final Installation-Wide Preliminary <br /> Close Out Report(the Final PCOR) for DDJC-Sharpe appears to address nearly all of the United <br /> States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) comments on the Draft PCOR, and the <br /> responses have been incorporated into the Final PCOR. The exceptions are noted below. <br /> 1. Specific Comment 2: The response appears to address the comment but was not <br /> incorporated into the text appropriately. The comment stated that the Defense Logistics <br /> Agency(DLA) is the lead agency responsible for funding and implementing remedial <br /> actions, and the EPA provides final approval for decisions regarding remedial actions <br /> taken at DDJC-Sharpe. The comment requested revision of the text to indicate EPA's role <br /> in the decision making process at the Site,but the Final PCOR merely substituted"EPA" <br /> for"DLA", deleting the reference to DLA as the lead agency. The intent of the comment <br /> was to add EPA's role of final approval, not to delete DLA's role as lead agency. Please <br /> revise the last sentence of Section 2.1 to state that DLA is the lead agency responsible for <br /> funding and implementing remedial actions, and the EPA provides final approval for <br /> decisions regarding remedial actions taken at DDJC-Sharpe. <br /> 2. Specific Comment 8: The response does not appear to address the comment. The <br /> comment requested a discussion of why institutional controls (ICs) are not necessary for <br /> Sites S-3 and S-26,where residual concentrations are consistent with industrial land use <br /> but apparently not with unrestricted use. The response stated that a resolution of IC issues <br /> is expected by September 30, 2002. Until the IC issues are resolved, the PCOR cannot be <br /> considered Final. Please revise the response to comments to include a summary of the <br /> resolution of the IC issues or revise sections 2.2.2.16 and 2.2.2.20 to indicate why ICs are <br /> not necessary for Sites S-3 and S-26. <br /> 3. Specific Comment 10: The response appears to address the comment but contains a <br /> minor discrepancy. The response states that the extraction systems will operate beyond <br /> 2013,but in response to agency comments, the text was changed to read"until 2011 or <br /> longer."Please revise the RTC to be consistent with the text of the Final PCOR. No <br /> revision of the Final PCOR is necessary in response to this comment. <br /> 4. Specifie Comment 11: The response does not appear to address the comment. The <br /> response states that the Five-Year Review for DDJC-Sharpe will be a policy review <br /> because the OU 1 remedial action will not leave hazardous substances, pollutants, or <br /> 1 <br />
