ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5851-4]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of deletion of Sealand Limited Site from the National
Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA, Region 3, announces the deletion of the Sealand Limited
Site, Mount Pleasant, Delaware, 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). EPA
promulgated the NCP pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980
(CERCLA), as amended. EPA and the State of Delaware Department of
Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) have determined
that all appropriate CERCLA actions have been implemented, that the
Site poses no significant threat to public health or the environment
pursuant to CERCLA, and that no further cleanup by the responsible
parties is necessary under CERCLA.
DATES: Effective July 1, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Comprehensive information on this Site is available through
the public docket which is available for viewing at the Site
information repositories at the following locations:
Hazardous Waste Technical Information Center, 9th Floor, U.S. EPA,
Region 3, 841 Chestnut Building, Philadelphia, PA, 19107, (215) 566-

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lesley Brunker (3HW23), U.S. EPA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA announces the deletion of the Sealand
Limited Site located in Mount Pleasant, Delaware, from the National
Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is Appendix B of the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR part 300.
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 CERCLA, 40 U.S.C. 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 in the future. Deletion of a site from the NPL does
not affect responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to
recover costs associated with response efforts.
A Notice of Intent to Delete the Sealand Limited Site from the NPL
was published on February 10, 1997 in the Federal Register (62 FR
5949). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete
was March 13, 1997. EPA received no comments on the proposed deletion.
