National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Leetown Pesticide Site in Leetown,
Jefferson County, West Virginia, from the National Priorities List.
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region III announces the deletion of the Leetown Pesticide site (Site) located in Jefferson County, West Virginia, from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL constitutes Appendix B to 40 CFR Part 300. Part 300 comprises 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 (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended. EPA and the West Virginia Division of Environmental Protection have determined that all appropriate CERCLA actions have been implemented and that the Site poses no significant threat to public health or the environment. Therefore, further remedial measures pursuant to CERCLA are not needed.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
August 26, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The site to be deleted from the NPL is: the Leetown Pesticide Site, Leetown, Jefferson County, West Virginia.
A Notice of Intent to Delete this Site was published on June 14, 1996 in the Federal Register (56 FR 11597). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was July 15, 1996. EPA did not receive any comments on the proposed deletion.
EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health or the environment and maintains the NPL as the list of those sites. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of remedial actions financed by the Hazardous Substances Superfund Response Trust Fund (Fund). Pursuant to 40 CFR 300.425(e)(3), 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. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
