PART 1: DECLARATION

1.1 Site Name and Location

Site Name: Barrels, Inc. Superfund Site Site Location: 1404 North Larch Street, Lansing, Ingham County, Michigan EPA Identification Number: MID017188673

1.2 Statement of Basis and Purpose

This decision document presents the selected remedy for the Barrels, Inc. Superfund Site in Lansing, Michigan, which was chosen in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, (CERCLA, also commonly referred to as "Superfund"), 42 U.S.C. ? 9601 et seq., as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), and, to the extent practicable, the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 C.F.R. Part 300 et seq., as amended.

This decision is based on the Administrative Record (AR) file for this site, which has been developed in accordance with Section 113(k) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. ? 9601 et seq. The AR Index, included as Appendix A, identifies each of the items comprising the AR upon which the selection of the remedial action is based. The AR for this Record of Decision (ROD) is available for review at the Downtown Lansing branch of the Capital Area District Libraries located at 401 South Capitol Avenue, Lansing, Michigan, and online at superfund/barrels.

The State of Michigan concurs with the Selected Remedy. The State's concurrence letter is included in Appendix B.

1.3 Description of Selected Remedy

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE), formerly the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), is the lead agency for the remedial investigation (RI) and remedial action. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the lead agency for the final remedy decision. EPA, in consultation with EGLE, has determined that for the Barrels, Inc. Site, no further action is necessary to protect public health or welfare or the environment as long as future site uses are consistent with the implemented institutional controls. Long-term monitoring of institutional controls will be necessary to maintain protectiveness.

1.4 Statutory Determinations

The Selected Remedy attains the mandates of CERCLA Section 121 and, to the extent practicable, the NCP. Specifically, the remedy is protective of human health and the environment, complies with federal and state Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs), and is cost-effective.

EPA has determined that no further remedial action is necessary for the Barrels, Inc. Site. Previous cleanup actions at the site have eliminated the need for a further remedial action. Contaminated soil was excavated, removed, and disposed of off-site to meet limited nonresidential cleanup criteria under Part 201 of the Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA), 1994 Public Act 451, as amended, for all relevant pathways of potential exposure. Approximately 1,000 drums and nine underground storage tanks (USTs) were also removed from the site and transported to an approved off-site disposal facility. Residual groundwater contamination above Part 201 criteria present beneath the site has been attributed by EPA and EGLE to an upgradient source and is being addressed under a response action associated with that source. Restrictive covenants (MDEQ Reference Nos. RC-SF-201-14004, RC-SF-201-14-005, RC-SF-201-14-006, RC-SF-201-17-002, and RC-SF-201-17-003) were recorded to prevent potential exposures to residual contamination, limit land use to nonresidential usage, and prohibit the use of groundwater underlying the site to help maintain protectiveness. Because this remedy will result in hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants remaining on site above levels that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure, a statutory review will be conducted within five years of ROD signature to ensure that the remedy is, or will be, protective of human health and the environment. 1.5 Authorizing Signatures
