Protection Agency (``EPA''), and Warmington Fairchild Associates LLC
(``Warmingotn''), regarding the Middlefield-Ellis-Whisman (MEW)
Superfund Area in Mountain View, California. Under this Settlement

SFUND-2017-01, to the Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or withdrawn. EPA

Information (``CBI'') or other information whose disclosure is

be accompanied by a written comment. The written comment is considered
the official comment and should include discussion of all points you
wish to make. EPA will generally not consider comments or comment

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the terms of the settlement,
Warmington agrees to implement the Response Action Plan, dated June 30,
2017, intended to lower ``hot spot'' area trichloroethene (TCE)
contaminant concentrations in the soil gas and groundwater. The
Response Action Plan provides for reduction of ``hot spot''
contamination to reduce potential risks to human health from exposure
to TCE through the subsurface vapor intrusion pathway prior to
construction of residential units in those areas. Warmington agrees to
pay EPA's costs for oversight of the response action activities. In
exchange, Warmington will receive a covenant not to sue from the United
States. EPA will consider all comments submitted by the date set forth
above and may modify or withdraw its consent to the settlement if
comments received disclose facts or considerations that indicate the
proposed settlement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate.
Dated: July 28, 2017.

Director, Superfund Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
