ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5650-2]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan; National
Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the St. Augusta Landfill/Engen Dump Site
from the National Priorities List (NPL).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) announces
the deletion of the St. Augusta Landfill/Engen Dump Site in Minnesota
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 US EPA promulgated pursuant to Section
105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. US EPA and the State of
Minnesota have determined that all appropriate Fund-financed responses
under CERCLA have been implemented and that no further response by
responsible parties is appropriate. Moreover, US 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: November 14, 1996.

repository located at: Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, 520
Lafayette Rd., St. Paul, MN 55155-4194. Requests for comprehensive
copies of documents should be directed formally to the Regional Docket

Pfundheller (H-7J), US EPA, Region 5, 77 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago. IL
60604, (312) 353-5821.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is the
St. Augusta Landfill/Engen Dump Site, Stearns County, Minnesota. A
Notice of Intent to Delete was published July 22, 1996 (61 FR 37876)
for this site. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to
Delete was August 21, 1996. US EPA received no comments.
The US EPA identified 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.
