SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Bridge Point LLC is agreeing to perform a 
removal action to address soils contaminated with the pesticide 
dichlorodiphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT). The removal action will reduce 
the risk to future users of the property and the surrounding community 
from exposure to contamination primarily caused by historical DDT 
manufacturing operations at a nearby plant. Under the terms of the 
settlement, Bridge Point LLC will complete the removal action and pay 
EPA's costs for oversight of the cleanup activities. In exchange, 
Bridge Point LLC 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: April 10, 2018.

Director, Superfund Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region 9.
