SUMMARY: EPA, Region 4, announces the deletion of the Flowood Site from
the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is 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

(State) have determined that all appropriate CERCLA actions have been
implemented and that no further cleanup by responsible parties is
appropriate. Moreover, EPA
[[Page 6116]]
and the State have determined that remedial activities conducted at the
Site to date have been protective of public health, welfare, and the
environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 16, 1996.

the EPA Region 4 public docket, which is located at the Region 4 office
and is available for viewing by appointment only from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA announces the deletion of the Flowood
Site in Rankin County, Mississippi from the National Priorities List
(NPL), which is Appendix B of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances
Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA identifies sites that appear to
present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the
environment and maintains the NPL as the list of those sites. Sites on
the NPL may be the subject of remedial actions financed by the
Hazardous Substances Superfund Response Trust Fund (Fund). Pursuant to
42 U.S.C. section 9605 (40 CFR 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP), any site
deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed Remedial
Actions in the event that conditions at the site warrant such action.
EPA published a Notice of Intent to Delete the Flowood Site from
the NPL on June 15, 1995 in the Federal Register (60 FR 31440). EPA
received no comments on the proposed deletion; and, therefore, no
responsiveness summary is necessary for attachment to this Notice of
Deletion. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect the
responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs
associated with response efforts.
