[FRL-5546-2]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan National Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Bio-Ecology Systems Superfund Site
from the National Priorities List.
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the deletion of the Bio-Ecology Site in Grand Prairie, Texas, from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA). EPA and the State of Texas 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 Texas have determined that remedial actions conducted at the Site to date have been protective of public health, welfare, and the environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
August 5, 1996.

Ernest R. Franke, Remedial Project Manager

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The site to be deleted from the NPL is the Bio-Ecology Systems Site, Grand Prairie, Texas. A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published in the Federal Register on May 6, 1996, (60 FR 422). The closing date for public comment was June 5, 1996. EPA received no comments during the comment period.
EPA identifies sites which appear to present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment and maintains the NPL as a list of the most serious of those sites. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of remedial response actions financed using the Hazardous Substance Response Trust Fund (Fund). 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, provides that in the event of a significant release from a site deleted from the NPL, the site shall be restored to the NPL without application of the Hazard Ranking System. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs associated with response actions.
