Superfund explanation of significant difference for the Record of Decision (EPA Region 10): Pacific Hide and Fur Recycling Company, Pocatello, ID, May 14, 1998

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:676031
This document addresses a significant change to the Selected Remedy for the site-wide surface and subsurface soil excavation and off-site disposal of lead-contaminated soil described in the Final Operable Unit Record of Decision (ROD), dated September 25, 1995. During implementation of the selected remedy in 1996, the Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) performing the remedial actions proposed removing contaminated soils to levels at or below the more stringent residential contamination criteria (400 mg/kg Pb). Confirmation sampling conducted by the PRPs following completion of the initial remedial action indicated that a minimal amount of lead contaminated soil remained above the residential land use level criteria. Given the low levels of remaining contamination, the PRPs proceded in 1997 to develop and implement additional cleanup actions to remove all remaining soil with lead contamination above the 400 mg/kg level.
