A. The Parkview Well Superfund Site (“Site”) is located in the southwestern portion of the city of Grand Island in Hall County, Nebraska. The Site consists of two areas of groundwater contamination and associated source areas which resulted from the historical mismanagement of industrial solvents.
B. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued an Interim Record of Decision dated September 26, 2006 (“Interim ROD”), and a Record of Decision dated September 30, 2007 (“Final ROD”), and an Explanation of Significant Differences for the Site. The RODs identified two contaminant source areas. A contaminant source area located at a facility at 3304 Engleman Road South has resulted in contamination in the groundwater which trends to the east. This groundwater contamination is referred to in the RODs as the Southern Plume. A contaminant source area located at a facility at 3445 West Stolley Park Road has resulted in groundwater contamination which trends to the east. This groundwater contamination is referred to in the RODs as the Northern Plume.
C. The RODs presented the selected remedies for the source areas and the plumes. A component of the selected remedies in the Interim ROD is the enactment by the City of Grand Island of an institutional control ordinance designating a Groundwater Control Area through which groundwater use would be restricted to prevent human exposure and consumption of contaminated groundwater and prohibit the installation of new wells supplying water for human consumption in the plume areas. This institutional control ordinance is to remain in full force and effect until the groundwater contamination identified in the RODs is reduced to a level making the groundwater safe to be used as a source of drinking water pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 300f – 300j-26, or its successor legislation.
