ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5220-7]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan; National
Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Koch Refining Company Superfund Site
from the National Priorities List (NPL).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the
deletion of the Koch Refining Company site in Minnesota 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 Minnesota have
determined that all appropriate Fund-financed responses under CERCLA
have been implemented and that no further response by responsible
parties is appropriate. 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: June 15, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gladys Beard at (312) 886-7253,
Associate Remedial Project Manager, Office of Superfund, 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:
Minnesota Pollution Agency Public Library, 520 Laffayette Rd. St Paul,
MN 55155-4194.
Requests for comprehensive copies of documents should be directed
formally to the Regional Docket Office. The point of contact for the
Regional Docket Office is Jan Pfundheller (H-7J), U.S. EPA, Region V,
77 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604, (312) 353-5821.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: The
Koch Refining Company located in Rosemount, Minnesota. A Notice of
Intent to Delete was published March 23, 1995 (60 FR 15273) for this
site. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete
was April 24, 1995. EPA received no comments and therefore has not
prepared a Responsiveness Summary.
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.
