40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6442-1]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of Munisport Landfill Superfund site from 
the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region IV announces 
the deletion of the Munisport Landfill Superfund (Site) in North Miami, 
Dade County, Florida, from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL 
constitutes Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 which is the National Oil and 
Hazardous Substances Pollution 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 Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) have 
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been 
implemented by the Potentially Responsible Party, the City of North 
Miami, and that no further response actions under CERCLA are needed. 
Moreover, EPA and the FDEP have determined that the remedial actions 
conducted at the Site to date are protective of human health and the 
environment, such that further federal response under CERCLA is not 
warranted.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 24, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin Misenheimer, Remedial Project 
Manager, EPA Region IV, 61 Forsyth St. SW, Atlanta, Georgia, 30303, 
[phone]. Comprehensive information on this Site is available 
through the EPA Region IV public docket located at two locations. 
Locations and phone numbers are: USEPA Region IV Record Center, 61 
Forsyth St. SW, Atlanta, Georgia, 30303, [phone] and Florida 
International University, North Campus Library, 3000 NE 151st St., 
North Miami, Florida, 33181-3601, [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is the 
Munisport Landfill, North Miami, Dade County, Florida.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published on June 
25, 1999 (64 FR 34180). The closing date for comments on the Notice of 
Intent to Delete was July 27, 1999. EPA addressed significant comments 
in a Responsiveness Summary which is included in the public docket.
    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 costs associated with 
response efforts.
