SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The release to be deleted from the NPL is: Taylor Borough Site located in Taylor, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania.
A Notice of Intent to Delete the releases from this Site was published on August 19, 1999 (64 FR 45224). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete the releases was August 18, 1999. EPA received two letters from citizens in regard to the notice during the comment period. One of the letters only requested that the releases from the Site not be deleted from the NPL, however, no other information was included with this request. The other letter requested information about what happens once the releases from the Site are deleted from the NPL and expressed concerns about the effects of the Site on the health of people who live in the vicinity of the Site. A response letter was sent to each of these citizens and a responsiveness summary was prepared in regard to these two letters. A copy of the responsiveness summary is in the Site administrative record.
The EPA identifies releases 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. Releases on the NPL may be the subject of remedial actions financed by the Hazardous Substance Superfund Response Trust Fund (Fund). Pursuant to Sec. 300.425(e)(e) of the NCP, any release deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed remedial actions in the unlikely event that conditions at the Site warrant such action.
Deletion of a release from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover cost associated with response efforts.
