ON OCTOBER 14, 1993 NPI AND U.S. EPA ENTERED INTO AN AOC FOR PERFORMANCE OF TIME-CRITICAL REMOVAL ACTIVITIES AS THE NPI SITE. THE REMOVAL INCLUDED DEWATERING LAGOON NO. 1 AND REMOVING 12,000 GALLONS OF FLOATING OIL FROM ITS SURFACE, PUMPING WASTE FORGE COMPOUND FROM THE LAGOON, AND USING BLENDED WASTE FORGE AS A SUPPLEMENTARY FUEL AS A CERCLA APPROVED CEMENT KLN. ON NOVEMBER 4, 1994 THE CONSENT ORDER WAS MODIFIED BY AGREEMENT TO ADD NON-TIME CRITICAL REMOVAL ACTIVITIES. NPI WILL EXCAVATE WASTE FORGE COMPOUND SOLIDS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE LAGOON AND THE EAST DISPOSAL SITE, AND WILL REMEDIATE REMOVING SOIL AND SOIL VAPORS IF ANY IN THE VADOSE ZONE. (THIS WAS ADDED AS A MODIFICATION TO THE EXISITING CASE FOR NATIONAL PRESTO INDUSTRIES, INC.) C.J.
