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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Kummer Sanitary Landfill Superfund 
Site from the National Priorities List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of the Kummer Sanitary Landfill site in Minnesota from the 
National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is Appendix B of 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. 
This action is being taken by EPA and the State of Minnesota, because 
it has been determined that Responsible Parties have implemented all 
appropriate response actions required. Moreover, 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: April 26, 1996.

Division, U.S. EPA--Region V, 77 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604. 
Information on the site is available at the local information 
repository located at: The Bemidji Public Library, 602 Beltrami Ave., 
Bemidji, MN 56601. Requests for comprehensive copies of documents 
should be directed formally to the Regional Docket Office. The contact 
for the Regional Docket Office is Jan Pfundheller (H-7J), U.S. EPA, 
Region V, 77 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604, [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Kummer Sanitary Landfill Site located in Beltrami County, Minnesota. A 
Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published March 1, 1996 
(61 FR 8012). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to 
Delete was March 30, 1996. EPA received no comments and therefore no 
Responsiveness Summary was prepared.
    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.
