ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5634-3]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of deletion of Northwest 58th Street Landfill Site from
the National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 announces
the deletion of the Northwest 58th Street Landfill Site, Dade County,
Florida, from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL constitutes
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 (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended. EPA and
the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) have
determined that the Site poses no significant threat to public health
or the environment and therefore, further response measures pursuant to
CERCLA are not appropriate.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 11, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Richard D. Green, Acting Director, Waste Management
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 100 Alabama Street
S.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30303. Comprehensive information on this Site is
available through the Region 4 public docket, which is available for
viewing at the Northwest 58th Street Landfill information repositories
at two locations. Locations and phone numbers are: U.S. EPA Record
Center, 100 Alabama Street S.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30303, (404) 562-
8190, and Metropolitan Dade County, Department of Environmental
Resource Management, Hazardous Waste Section, 33 S.W. 2nd Avenue, Suite
800, Miami, Florida 33130, (305) 372-6804.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pam Scully 404-562-8935.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Northwest 58th Street Landfill Site in
Dade County, Florida, is being deleted from the NPL.
A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published on August
2, 1996 (61 FR 40371). The closing date for comments on the Notice of
Intent to Delete was September 3, 1996. EPA received no comments and
therefore did not prepare 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 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 301.425(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.
