ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Hydro-Flex Corporation, Inc., site from the national priorities list (NPL).
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region VII announces the deletion of the Hydro-Flex Corporation, Inc. Site from the NPL. The NPL is appendix B of 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 (CERCLA), as amended. EPA and the State of Kansas have determined that no cleanup by responsible parties is appropriate under CERCLA. Moreover, EPA and the State have determined that CERCLA activities 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: Hydro-Flex Corporation, Inc. Site, Topeka, Kansas.
A notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published April 12, 1993. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was May 13, 1993. EPA did not receive any comments on the proposed deletion.
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 Fund-financed remedial actions. Any site deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed remedial actions. Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that Fund-financed actions may be taken at the sites deleted from the NPL should future conditions warrant such actions. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede EPA efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
