[FRL-6209-7]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Denzer & Schafer X-Ray Company Site 
from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II announces 
the deletion of the Denzer & Schafer X-Ray Company Site in Bayville, 
New Jersey 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 New Jersey have 
determined that the site poses no significant threat to public health 
or the environment and, therefore, no remedial measures pursuant to 
CERCLA are appropriate.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 29, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Westgate, Remedial Project 
Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region II, 290 Broadway, 
19th floor, New York, N.Y. 10007-1866. [phone].

ADDRESSES: Comprehensive information about the Denzer & Schafer X-Ray 
Company Site is available for viewing at the Administrative Record 
Repositories which are located at:

Berkeley Township Library, 42 Station Road, Bayville, New Jersey 08721
Berkeley Township Municipal Building, Pinewald-Keswick Road, P.O. Box 
B, Bayville, New Jersey 08721

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Denzer & Schafer X-Ray Company, Bayville, New Jersey.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published in the 
Federal Register on August 18, 1998 (63 FR 44218). The closing date for 
comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was September 17, 1998. EPA 
received no comments.
    The EPA identifies sites that 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) financed remedial actions. 
Pursuant to 40 CFR 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP, any site deleted from the 
NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed remedial actions in the unlikely 
event 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.
