ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-6168-2]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;National Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of partial deletion of portions of the Sangamo Weston/Twelve Mile Creek/Lake Hartwell (Sangamo) Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the partial deletion of the Sangamo site in Pickens, South Carolina from the National Priorities List (NPL). The portion to be deleted is described below. The NPL constitutes 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 South Carolina have determined that all appropriate Fund-financed responses under CERCLA have been implemented on the portions of the property targeted for this partial deletion and that no further cleanup by responsible parties is appropriate. Moreover, EPA and the State of South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control have determined that remedial actions conducted on these portions of the property at the site to date remain protective of public health, welfare, and the environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
September 28, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The area to be deleted from the NPL is a portion of the Sangamo Superfund Site, Pickens, South Carolina. The portions to be deleted include: three of the off-site remote properties (Trotter, Nix, and Welborn), as well as unused property across Sangamo Road from the plant site. Contaminated soils were removed from the three remote sites and taken to the plant site where they were treated with all the other contaminated soils by thermal desorption. Confirmational sampling from the unused property across the street from the plant site, did not show any contamination. This partial deletion does not include all site soil actions nor the groundwater remedial action which will remain on the NPL. A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published in the Federal Register on August 17, 1998 (63 FR 43900). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was September 16, 1998. EPA received no comments during this period.
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 300.66(c)(8) of the NCP states that fund-financed actions may be taken at sites deleted from the NPL. Deletion of a site or a portion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover cost associated with response efforts.

SUMMARY:
The EPA Region 4 announces the deletion of Source Areas 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, and 10 of the Bypass 601 Groundwater Contamination Superfund Site from the National Priorities List (NPL), in 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 (CERCLA), as amended. EPA and the State of North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources have determined that Source Areas 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, and 10 pose no significant threat to public health or the environment, and therefore, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) further remedial measures are not appropriate. This deletion does not preclude future action under Superfund.
