ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5143-3]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Suffolk City landfill site from the
National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the
deletion of the Suffolk City Landfill in Suffolk, Virginia, from the
National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is 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, as amended (CERCLA). EPA has determined that all
appropriate CERCLA response actions have been implemented and that no
further CERCLA response actions are appropriate. Moreover, EPA has
determined that response actions conducted at the Site to date have
been protective of public health, welfare, and the environment. The
Commonwealth of Virginia has concurred with these determinations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 11, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronnie M. Davis, US EPA Region 3, 841
Chestnut Building, Philadelphia, PA 19107; (215) 597-1727.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Site to be deleted from the NPL is the
``Suffolk City Landfill Site,'' Suffolk City, Virginia. A Notice of
Intent to Delete for this Site was published on October 20, 1994 (59 FR
52949). The initial closing date for public comment was November 21,
1994. EPA extended the comment period through December 8, 1994. EPA
received no comments during the comment period.
EPA identifies sites which appear to present a significant risk to
public health, welfare, or the environment and maintains the NPL as a
list of the most serious of those sites. Sites on the NPL may be the
subject of remedial response actions financed using the Hazardous
Substances Response Trust Fund (Fund). 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
300.424(e)(3) of the NCP, 40 CFR 300.424(e)(3), provides that in the
event of a significant release from a site deleted from the NPL, the
site shall be restored to the NPL without application of the Hazard
Ranking System, one of the means by which a site may be promulgated to
the NPL. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible
party liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs associated
with response actions.
