ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5306-3]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan; National
Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Witco Chemical Corporation Superfund
Site from the National Priorities List (NPL).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II announces
the deletion of the Witco Chemical Corporation Superfund site in
Oakland, New Jersey from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is
Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 300, 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
New Jersey have determined that all appropriate Fund-financed responses
under CERCLA have been implemented and that no further cleanup by
responsible parties is appropriate. Moreover, EPA and the State of New
Jersey have determined that remedial actions conducted at the site to
date remain protective of public health, welfare, and the environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 29, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is:
Witco Chemical Corporation Site, Oakland, New Jersey.
A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published November
18, 1993 (58 FR 60825). The closing date for comments on the Notice of
Intent to Delete was December 17, 1993. 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. 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.
