 Responsiveness Summary

The Responsiveness Summary has been prepared to provide response to comment submitted to the EPA during the 30-day public comment period regarding the Notice of Intent to Delete (Tuesday, June 16, 2020, 85 FR 36368) of the Fairfax St. Wood Treaters Superfund Site. The original comments are summarized below and available at http://www.regulations.gov; Docket ID No. EPA-EPA-HQ-SFUND-2012-0063, with the support materials under document type "Public Submissions". The EPA temporarily suspendedits Docket Center and Regional Records Centers for public visitors to reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19. In addition, the site information repository has been closed and information in these repositories, including the deletion docket, has not been updated with hardcopy or electronic media. For further information and updates on EPA Docket Center services, please visit us online at https://www.epa.gov/dockets.

The commenter stated she went to R.V. Daniels and Susie E. Tolbert schools, that are nearby to the Site, and she wanted help. The Community Involvement Coordinator and the Remedial Project Manager, both, called her but were unable to speak with her. Most local community concerns related to R.V. Daniels and Susie E. Tolbert schools were related to potential past exposure. The Florida Department of Health (DOH) attended a number of public meetings and public availability sessions to answer health related questions throughout the Superfund process. Further, their contact information was provided in multiple fact sheets and on the Fairfax St. Wood Treaters website. The EPA encourages the public to reach out to the DOH if they have any health-related questions or concerns and can be reached toll free at (877) 798-2772 or by email at phtoxicologv@flhealth.gov. The comment received was not directly related to the deletion rule-making and did not oppose the rule-making.

The EPA believes the activities completed at the site satisfy the deletion criteria in the National Oil and Hazardous Substances and Pollution Contingency Plan, and it is appropriate to delete the site from the National Priorities List.
