COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
2.1 Community Involvement Responsibilities
(a) EPA has the lead responsibility for developing and implementing community involvement activities at the Site. During the remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) phase, EPA developed a Community Involvement Plan (CIP) for the Site. Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. 300.435(c), EPA shall review the existing CIP and determine whether it should be revised to describe further public involvement activities that are not already addressed or provided for in the existing CIP.
(b) If requested by EPA, Respondents shall support EPA's community involvement activities. This may include providing online access to initial submissions and updates of deliverables to: (1) Community Advisory Groups; (2) Technical Assistance Grant recipients and their advisors; and (3) other entities identified by EPA. All community involvement activities conducted by Respondents at EPA's request are subject to EPA's oversight.
(c) If requested by EPA, Respondents shall explore the possibility of participating in EPA's Superfund Job Training Initiative program (SuperJTI). This program provides job training to communities affected by Superfund Sites. Respondents will have input into the selection of any JTI candidates proposed to be involved in the Work.
(d) Respondents' Cl Coordinator. If requested by EPA, Respondents shall, within 15 days, designate and notify EPA of their Community Involvement Coordinator (Respondents' Cl Coordinator). Respondents may hire a contractor for this purpose. Respondents' notice must include the name, title, and qualifications of the Respondents' Cl Coordinator. Respondents' Cl Coordinator is responsible for providing support regarding EPA's community involvement activities, including coordinating with EPA's Cl Coordinator regarding responses to the public's inquiries about the Site.

should be accompanied by metadata, and such metadata should be compliant with the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata and its EPA profile, the EPA Geospatial Metadata Technical Specification. An add-on metadata editor for ESRI software, the EPA Metadata Editor (EME), complies with these FGDC and EPA metadata requirements and is available at https://edg.epa.gov/EME/. Respondents are required to upload data collected to EPA's Water Quality Exchange (WQX) in a manner approved in advance by EPA.
(c) Each file must include an attribute name for each site unit or sub-unit submitted. Consult http://www.epa.gov/geospatial/policies.html for any further available guidance on attribute identification and naming.
5.5 Certification. All deliverables that require compliance with this f 5.5-5-4 must be signed by the Respondents' Project Coordinator, or other responsible official of Respondents, and must contain the following statement:
I certify under penalty o f law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry o f the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsiblefo r gathering the information, the infomation submitted is, to the best o f my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. 1 am aware that there are significant penalties fo r submittingfalse information, including the possibility offine and imprisonmentfo r knowing violations.
5.6 Approval of Deliverables
(a) Initial Submissions. After review of any deliverable that is required to be submitted for EPA approval under the SOW, EPA shall: (i) approve, in whole or in part, the submission; (ii) approve the submission upon specified conditions; (iii) disapprove, in whole or in part, the submission; or (iv) any combination of the foregoing.
(b) Resubmissions. Upon receipt of a notice of disapproval under 1 5.6(a)5.6(a) (Initial Submissions), or if required by a notice of approval upon specified conditions under ^ 5.6(3)5,6(a). Respondents shall, within 30 days or such longer time as specified by EPA in such notice, correct the deficiencies and resubmit the deliverable for approval unless a dispute resolution process is initiated under Section XIV of the ASAOC. After review of the resubmitted deliverable, EPA shall: (1) approve, in whole or in part, the resubmission; (2) approve the resubmission upon specified conditions; (3) disapprove, in whole or in part, the resubmission, requiring Respondents to correct the deficiencies; or (4) any combination of the foregoing.
Commented [2]: In its 9/20/17 outline o f "Second Tier Drafting Issues," EPA proposed that, in addition to die options listed here, it also have the ability to ''''modify" submissions under certain circumstances. The Pre-RD Group believes that the options provided here coupled with the dispute resolution provisions in the ASAOC provide EPA the appropriate tools for challenging tire content of any submittal.

(c) Implementation. Upon approval or approval upon conditions, by EPA under 1 5.6(a)A:6(a) (Initial Submissions) or ^ 5,6(b)S-:-6(-b-) (Resubmissions), of any deliverable, or any portion thereof: (1) such deliverable, or portion thereof, will be incorporated into and enforceable under the ASAOC; and (2) Respondents shall take any action required by such deliverable, or portion thereof unless any condition to approval is disputed and a dispute resolution is initiated under Section XIV of the ASAOC. The implementation of any non-deficient portion of a deliverable submitted or resubmitted under 1 5.6(a)5.6(a) or 1 5.6(b)5.6(b) does not relieve Respondents of any liability for stipulated penalties under Section XVI (Stipulated Penalties) of the ASAOC.
5.7 Supporting Deliverables to PDI Work Plan. Respondents shall submit each of the following supporting deliverables for EPA approval, except as specifically provided. The deliverables must be submitted, for the first time, by the deadlines in the EPA-approved schedule, as applicable. Respondents shall develop the deliverables in accordance with all applicable regulations, guidance, and policies (see Section 88 (References)). Respondents shall update each of these supporting deliverables as necessary or appropriate during the Work, and/or as requested by EPA.
(a) Health and Safety Plan. The Elealth and Safety Plan (E1ASP) describes all activities to be performed to protect on site personnel and area residents from physical, chemical, and all other hazards posed by the Work. Respondents shall develop the PIASP in accordance with EPA's Emergency Responder Health and Safety and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements under 29 C.F.R. 1910 and 1926. EPA does not approve the PIASP, but will review it to ensure that all necessary elements are included and that the plan provides for the protection of human health and the environment. The plan will include appropriate elements of an Emergency Response Plan to cover field activities in the event of an accident or emergency at the Site (e.g. power outages, slope failure, spill releases, etc.) and notification requirements. Work may not commence until EPA comments on the HASP have been resolved.
(b) Quality Assurance Project Plan. The Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) addresses all sample collection activities as well as sample analysis and data handling regarding the Work. It must be written so that a field sampling team unfamiliar with the project would be able to gather the samples and field infonnation required. A separate Field Sampling Plan (FSP) is not required. Instead, this information is incorporated into the Quality Assurance Project Plan. The QAPP developed by the Lower Willamette Group for the RI/FS will be used where methods are consistent, and the Pre-RD QAPP will include amendments where the methods are different.
The QAPP must include a detailed explanation of Respondents' quality assurance, quality control, and chain of custody procedures for all treatability, design, compliance, and monitoring samples. Respondents shall develop the QAPP in accordance with EPA Requirementsfo r Quality Assurance Project Plans, QA/R-

(8) For Respondents to submit to EPA all v'il-idated-Jsampling and tests results and other data in connection with the implementation of the ASAOC.
(c) Field Sampling Plan for Pre-Remedial Investigation Studies. The field sampling plan (FSP), incorporated as a subsection of the QAPP, provides objectives and minimum sampling requirements. It includes guidelines for sediment, surface water, and small mouth bass. Preliminary RD characterization will focus on delineating horizontal and vertical extent of contamination associated with SMAs, small mouth bass fish tissue, and other tasks listed in Section 3.1. The sampling will provide up-to-date information on the extent of contamination in affected media, identify existing conditions, and include a
