National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan; National Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of the deletion of the New Castle Steel Site from the National Priorities List.
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the deletion of the New Castle Steel Site in New Castle, Delaware from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is Appendix B to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan (NCP) (40 CFR Part 300), which EPA promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. EPA and the State of Delaware have determined that all appropriate fund-financed responses under CERCLA have been implemented and that no further cleanup by responsible parties is appropriate. Moreover, EPA and the State of Delaware determined that remedial actions conducted at the site to date have been protective of public health, welfare, and the environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
March 17, 1989.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health, welfare or the environment and maintains the NPL as the list of those sites. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of Hazardous Substances Response Trust Fund (Fund) financed remedial actions. Any site deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed remedial actions in the unlikely event that conditions at the site warrant such action. Section 300.66(c)(8) of the NCP states that Fund-financed actions may be taken at sites deleted from the NPL.
The site EPA deletes from the NPL is: New Castle Steel Co., New Castle, New Castle County, Delaware.
An explanation of the criteria for deleting sites from the NPL was presented in section II of the September 22, 1988 Notice of Intent to Delete (53 FR 36869). A description of the site and how it met the criteria for deletion was presented in section IV of that notice.
The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was October 24, 1988. The comment period was reopened from January 30, 1989, to February 13, 1989 (53 FR 4302) to provide a full 30-day comment period on the Notice of Intent to Delete. No comments were received. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
