Federal Register Notice
27788 - 27789 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 107 / Monday, June 3, 1996 / Rules and Regulations
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5512-1]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of deletion of Newport Dump Superfund Site, Wilder,
Kentucky, from the National Priorities List
SUMMARY:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the deletion of the Newport Dump Superfund Site in Wilder, Kentucky, from the National Priorities List (NPL), {Appendix B of 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:
May 31, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Liza Montalvo, Remedial Project Manager
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4
North Superfund Remedial Branch
345 Courtland Street NE.
Atlanta, GA 30365
(404) 347-7791, ext. 2030
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The site to be deleted from the NPL is: Newport Dump Superfund Site, Wilder, Kentucky.
A Notice of Intent To Delete for this site was published on May 16, 1988 (SW-FRL-3380-7). A Revised Notice of Intent To Delete was published on March 8, 1996 (FRL-5436-5). 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.
