SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The release to be deleted from the NPL is:
Hebelka Auto Salvage Yard Site, Weisenberg Township, Pennsylvania
A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published June 24,
1999 (64 FR 33812). The closing date for comments on the Notice of
Intent to Delete was July 26, 1999. EPA received no comments.
The EPA identifies releases which appear to present a significant
risk to public health, welfare, or the environment and it maintains the
NPL as the list of those releases. Releases on the NPL may be the
subject of remedial actions financed by the Hazardous Substance
Superfund Response Trust Fund (Fund). Pursuant to Sec. 300.66(c)(8) of
the NCP, any release deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-
financed remedial actions in the unlikely event that conditions at the
Site warrant such action.
Deletion of a release from the NPL does not affect responsible
party liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs associated
with response efforts.
