ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Pioneer Sand Company Site from the National Priorities List (NPL).
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the deletion of the Pioneer Sand Company Superfund Site (the Site) in Pensacola, Florida from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan (NCP), 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 Florida 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 Florida have determined that the remedial actions conducted at the Site to date have been protective of public health, welfare, and the environment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The site to be deleted from the NPL is:
Pioneer Sand Company Superfund Site, Pensacola, Florida.
A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published December 1, 1992 (57 CFR 56882). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was January 1, 1992. EPA received one comment letter from the U.S. Navy, one of two settlors named in the Consent Decree for the Site. The settlor was concerned that the delisting of the Site one and one half years after cleanup might impose additional financial burdens in the event that the Site should be restored to the NPL. In its response, EPA cites the section in the National Contingency Plan (NCP) that allows for restoration of the Site to the NPL without application of the Hazardous Ranking Scoring (HRS) process. EPA's detailed response to the comment can be found in the Responsiveness Summary filed in the EPA, Region IV Deletion Docket.
The EPA identifies sites which appear to present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment and it maintains the NPL as the list of those sites. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of Hazardous Substance 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 300.425(e)(3). Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
