ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5301-7]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
(DuPont) County Road X23 Superfund Site from the National Priorities
List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region VII announces
the deletion of the E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company County Road X23
Superfund Site 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 the EPA
promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended. This
action is being taken as Superfund Remedial Activities have been
completed at the Site and EPA and the State of Iowa have determined
that no further cleanup by the Responsible Party is appropriate under
CERCLA. Moreover, EPA and the State have determined that CERCLA
activities conducted at the Site to date have been protective of public
health, welfare and the environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 25, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul W. Roemerman, Remedial Project
Manager, Superfund Branch, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region
VII, 726 Minnesota Ave., Kansas City, KS 66101, (913) 551-7694.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is the
E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company County Road X23 Superfund Site,
Fort Madison, Lee County, Iowa.
A notice of intent to delete for this site was published August 30,
1994 (59 FR 44689). The closing date for comments was thirty (30) days
after the notice was published. EPA did not receive any comments on the
proposed deletion.
Based upon a review of monitoring data from the site, EPA in
consultation with the State of Iowa has determined that the site does
not pose a significant risk to human health or the environment. The
site shall be monitored in accordance with the Operation and Monitoring
Plan approved by EPA.
EPA, in conjunction with the State of Iowa, will conduct future
reviews of monitoring data at a minimum of every five years, or until
such time when no hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants
remain at the site above levels that allow for unrestricted use and
unlimited exposure.
The 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 Substance Response Fund
(Fund). Pursuant to Sec. 105(e) of CERCLA, any site deleted from the
NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed Remedial Actions if conditions
at the site warrant such action. Deletion from the NPL does not affect
responsible party liability or impede EPA efforts to recover costs
associated with response efforts.
