Federal Register Notice
24894 - 24895 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 97 / Friday, May 17, 1996 / Rules and Regulations
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5507-3]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of deletion of the A.L. Taylor Superfund Site, Brooks,
Kentucky from the National Priorities List.
SUMMARY:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the deletion of the A.L. Taylor Superfund Site in Brooks, Kentucky, from the National Priorities List (NPL) (Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 300 which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP)). EPA and the Commonwealth of Kentucky have determined that all appropriate Fund-financed responses under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended, have been implemented and that no further cleanup is appropriate. Moreover, EPA and the Commonwealth of Kentucky determined that response actions conducted at the site to date have been protective of public health, welfare, and the environment. This deletion does not preclude future action under Superfund.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
June 1, 1996.

Liza Montalvo, Remedial Project Manager

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The site to be deleted from the NPL is: A.L. Taylor Superfund Site, Brooks, Kentucky.
A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published in July, 1988. A Revised Notice of Intent to Delete was published on March 8, 1996 (FRL-5436-8). The closing date for comments on the Revised Notice of Intent to Delete was April 17, 1996. EPA received no comments.
EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment and it maintains the NPL as the list of those sites. 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 in the future. Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that Fund-financed actions may be taken at sites deleted from the NPL. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
