EPA PUBLIC NOTICE 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Reviews 
Cleanup at the Tutu Wells Superfund Site 
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is conducting its third five-year review of the Tutu 
Wells Superfund site, located in Anna’s Retreat section of St. Thomas, USVI. This review seeks to 
confirm the remedy selected by EPA in the 1996 Record of Decision (ROD) is protective of human 
health. The selected remedy consists of the following components:  
 
• 
Operation of the groundwater pump and treat. 
• 
Monitored natural attenuation of the groundwater plume. 
• 
Long-term groundwater monitoring. 
• 
Implementation of institutional controls. 
 
A summary of the five-year review activities and an evaluation of the long-term protectiveness of the 
remedy will be included in the upcoming five-year review report.  The report is scheduled to be 
completed by September 2019. 
 
What is an EPA Five-Year Review?  
EPA inspects Superfund sites every five years to ensure that cleanups conducted remain fully protective of 
human health and the environment. These regular reviews, which are required by federal law when 
contaminants remain at a site, include: 
 
Inspection of the site and cleanup technologies; 
 
Review of monitoring data, operating data, and maintenance records; and, 
 
Determination if any new regulatory requirements have been established since EPA’s original 
cleanup decision was finalized. 
There are several ways to review information on this 
site. The Administrative Record, which includes 
EPA decision documents used for selecting the 
cleanup remedy, is available for public review at the 
information repository listed 
below. 
Project
