40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5172-7]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Radium Chemical Company site from the
National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II announces
the deletion of the Radium Chemical Company 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 of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA), as amended. EPA and the State of New York have determined
that all appropriate Hazardous Substance Response Trust Fund (Fund)-
financed responses under CERCLA have been implemented and that no
further cleanup is appropriate. Moreover, EPA and the State of New York
have determined that remedial actions conducted at the site to date
have been protective of public health, welfare, and the environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 24, 1995.
ADDRESSES: For further information contact: Janet Cappelli, Remedial
Project Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region II, 290
Broadway, 20th Floor, New York, NY 10007-1866, (212) 637-4270.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is:
Radium Chemical Company site, Woodside, Queens County, New York.
The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was
December 9, 1994. EPA received no verbal or written comments.
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 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 300.66(c)(8) of the
NCP states that Fund-financed actions may be taken at sites deleted
from the NPL. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect
responsible party liability or [[Page 15490]] impede EPA efforts to
recover costs associated with response efforts.
