ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5814-8]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Conklin Dumps site from the National
Priorities List.
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II announces the deletion of the Conklin Dumps site from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is codified as Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 300. It is part of 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), as amended. EPA and the State of New York have determined that all appropriate Hazardous Substance Response Trust Fund (Fund)- financed responses under CERCLA have been implemented and that no further cleanup by responsible parties is appropriate. Moreover, EPA and the State of New York have determined that remedial actions conducted at the site to date have been protective of public health, welfare, and the environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
May 2, 1997.
ADDRESSES:
Arnold R. Bernas, P.E., Remedial Project Manager
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region II

New York, NY 10007-1866
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Arnold R. Bernas at (212) 637-3964
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The site to be deleted from the NPL is: Conklin Dumps site, Town of Conklin, New York. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete the site from the NPL was March 12, 1997. EPA did not receive any comments during the comment period; therefore, EPA has not prepared a Responsiveness Summary.
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 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 300.66(c)(8) 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 EPA efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
