ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5635-2]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan; National
Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Oak Grove Sanitary Landfill,
Minnesota from the National Priorities List (NPL).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the
deletion of the Oak Grove Sanitary Landfill from the National
Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is 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 Minnesota have determined
that all appropriate Fund-financed responses under CERCLA have been
implemented and that no further cleanup by responsible parties is
appropriate. Moreover, EPA and the State of Minnesota have determined
that remedial actions conducted at the site to date remain protective
of public health, welfare, and the environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Timothy Prendiville, Remedial Project
Manager, Office of Superfund, U.S. EPA--Region V, 77 West Jackson
Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604, (312) 886-5122. The comprehensive information
on the site is available at the local information repository located
at: Oak Grove Township Hall, Cedar, MN. and the St. Francis Branch of
the Anoka Public Library, St. Francis, MN. Requests for comprehensive
copies of documents should be directed formally to the Regional Docket
Office. Address for the Regional Docket Office is Jan Pfundheller (H-
7J), U.S. EPA, Region V, 77 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604, (312)
353-5821.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: Oak
Grove Sanitary Landfill , Minnesota . A Notice of Intent to Delete for
this site was published in the Federal Register on July 29, 1996, at 61
FR 39383. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to
Delete was August 27, 1996. EPA received no comments and therefore has
not prepared 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 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 300.425(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.
