AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Oak Grove Sanitary Landfill,
Minnesota from the National Priorities List (NPL).
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the deletion of the Oak Grove Sanitary Landfill 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota have determined that remedial actions conducted at the site to date remain protective of public health, welfare, and the environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
October 17, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The site to be deleted from the NPL is: Oak Grove Sanitary Landfill , Minnesota . A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published in the Federal Register on July 29, 1996, at 61 FR 39383. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was August 27, 1996. EPA received no comments and therefore has not prepared a Responsiveness Summary.
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.
