ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5181-6]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan; National
Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of deletion of a site from the National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the
deletion of the Independent Nail Superfund site in Beaufort, South
Carolina 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 South
Carolina 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
South Carolina have determined that remedial actions conducted at the
site to date remain protective of public health, welfare, and the
environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE: April 3, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Terry L. Tanner, Remedial Project Manager, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, 345 Courtland Street, NE., Atlanta, GA 30365, 404/
347-7791.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is:
Independent Nail Superfund Site, Beaufort, South Carolina
A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published January
13, 1995 (60 FR 3189). The closing date for comments on the Notice of
Intent to Delete was February 13, 1995. EPA received no comments during
this period.
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 300.66(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 impede agency efforts to recover cost associated with
response efforts.
