SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the deletion of the Ossineke Groundwater Contamination site in Michigan 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 Michigan have determined that all appropriate Fund-financed responses under CERCLA have been implemented and that no further response by responsible parties under CERCLA is appropriate. The site is being addressed under the Subtitle I provisions of RCRA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The site to be deleted from the NPL is the Ossineke Groundwater Contamination Site in Ossineke, Michigan. A Notice of Intent to Delete was published August 11, 1995 (60 FR 41051) for this site. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was September 11, 1995. EPA received no comments.
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) of the NCP states that Fund-financed actions may be taken at sites deleted from the NPL in the unlikely event that conditions at the site warrant such action. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede Agency efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
