SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sycamore LLC is agreeing to perform a 
removal action to clean up soil and soil gas contaminated with 
chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including 
tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, and cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, 
and with aromatic VOCs, including benzene, toluene, and xylene. 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 dry cleaning operations at the property. Under the 
terms of the settlement, Sycamore LLC will complete the removal action 
and pay EPA's costs for oversight of the cleanup activities. In 
exchange, Sycamore 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: July 14, 2017.
Enrique Manzanilla,
Director, Superfund Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region 9.
