National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan; National 
Priorities List Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Omega Hills North Landfill, 
Germantown, Wisconsin from the National Priorities List (NPL).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of the Omega Hills North Landfill , Germantown, Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin have 
determined that remedial actions conducted at the site to date remain 
protective of public health, welfare, and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 11, 1996.

ADDRESSES: The comprehensive information on the site is available at 
the local information repository located at: Wisconsin Department of 
Natural Resources, 101 S. Webster, Madison, WI 53707. 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, [phone].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gladys Beard, Associate Remedial 
Project Manager, Office of Superfund, U.S. EPA--Region V, 77 West 
Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604, [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL list: 
The Omega Hills North Landfill, Germantown, Wisconsin.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published at 61 FR 
32765, June 25, 1996. The closing date for comments on the Notice of 
Intent to Delete was July 25, 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.
