Abstract
The purpose of this Explanation of Significant Difference (ESD) is to provide an explanation of a change the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made to a portion of the remedy selected in the July 8, 1994 Record of Decision (ROD) for the NL Industries, Inc. Superfund Site (Site). The ROD-specified remedy calls for the excavation of soil and sediment containing lead at levels exceeding 500 parts per million (ppm), on-site solidification/stabilization of those soils determined to be hazardous, and disposal of all excavated soil in a landfill to be constructed at the Site. However, as a result of newly obtained information, EPA believes an alternative involving the disposal of the excavated soil and sediment in a landfill located off-site to be cost-effective, equally protective, and more quickly implemented than disposal on-site.
