    National Priorities List for Uncontrolled Hazardous Waste Sites
    
    AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
    
    ACTION: Final rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and 
    Liability Act of 1980 (``CERCLA'' or ``the Act''), as amended, requires 
    that the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency 
    Plan (``NCP'') include a list of national priorities among the known 
    releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or 
    contaminants throughout the United States. The National Priorities List 
    (``NPL'') which is appendix B of 40 CFR part 300, constitutes this 
    list.
        This rule adds 8 new sites to the NPL, 6 to the General Superfund 
    Section and 2 to the Federal Facilities Section. The NPL is intended 
    primarily to guide the Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'' or 
    ``the Agency'') in determining which sites warrant further 
    investigation to assess the nature and extent of public health and 
    environmental risks associated with the site and to determine what 
    CERCLA-financed remedial action(s), if any, may be appropriate.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date for this amendment to the NCP shall 
    be October 30, 1995.
    
    ADDRESSES: For addresses for the Headquarters and Regional dockets, as 
    well as further details on what these dockets contain, see

    I. Introduction
    
    Background
    
        In 1980, Congress enacted the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
    Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601-9675 (``CERCLA'' or 
    ``the Act''), in response to the dangers of uncontrolled hazardous 
    waste sites. CERCLA was amended on October 17, 1986, by the Superfund 
    Amendments and Reauthorization Act (``SARA''), Public Law No. 99-499, 
    stat. 1613 et seq. To implement CERCLA, EPA promulgated the revised 
    National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
    (``NCP''), 40 CFR part 300, on July 16, 1982 (47 FR 31180), pursuant to 
    CERCLA section 105 and Executive Order 12316 (46 FR 42237, August 20, 
    1981). The NCP sets forth the guidelines and procedures needed to 
    respond under CERCLA to releases and threatened releases of hazardous 
    substances, pollutants, or contaminants. EPA has revised the NCP on 
    several occasions. The most recent comprehensive revision was on March 
    8, 1990 (55 FR 8666).
        Section 105(a)(8)(A) of CERCLA requires that the NCP include 
    ``criteria for determining priorities among releases or threatened 
    releases throughout the United States for the purpose of taking 
    remedial action * * * and, to the extent practicable taking into 
    account the potential urgency of such action, for the purpose of taking 
    removal action.'' ``Removal'' actions are defined broadly and include a 
    wide range of actions taken to study, clean up, prevent or otherwise 
    address releases and threatened releases. 42 USC 9601(23). ``Remedial'' 
    actions are those ``consistent with permanent remedy, taken instead of 
    or in addition to removal actions * * *.'' 42 USC 9601(24).
        Pursuant to section 105(a)(8)(B) of CERCLA, as amended by SARA, EPA 
    has promulgated a list of national priorities among the known or 
    threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or 
    contaminants throughout the United States. That list, which is Appendix 
    B of 40 CFR Part 300, is the National Priorities List (``NPL'').
        CERCLA section 105(a)(8)(B) defines the NPL as a list of 
    ``releases'' and as a list of the highest priority ``facilities.'' 
    CERCLA section 105(a)(8)(B) also requires that the NPL be revised at 
    least annually. A site may undergo remedial action financed by the 
    Trust Fund established under CERCLA (commonly referred to as the 
    ``Superfund'') only after it is placed on the NPL, as provided in the 
    NCP at 40 CFR 300.425(b)(1). However, under 40 CFR 300.425(b)(2) 
    placing a site on the NPL ``does not imply that monies will be 
    expended.'' EPA may pursue other appropriate authorities to remedy the 
    releases, including enforcement action under CERCLA and other laws.
        The purpose of the NPL is merely to identify releases that are 
    priorities for further evaluation. Although a CERCLA ``facility'' is 
    broadly defined to include any area where a hazardous substance release 
    has ``come to be located'' (CERCLA section 101(9)), the listing process 
    itself is not intended to define or reflect the boundaries of such 
    facilities or releases.
        Further, the NPL is only of limited significance, as it does not 
    assign liability to any party or to the owner of any specific property. 
    See Report of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, 
    Senate Rep. No. 96-848, 96th Cong., 2d Sess. 60 (1980), quoted above 
    and at 48 FR 40659 (September 8, 1983). If a party does not believe it 
    is liable for releases on discrete parcels of property, supporting 
    information can be submitted to the Agency at any time after a party 
    receives notice it is a potentially responsible party.
        Three mechanisms for placing sites on the NPL for possible remedial 
    action are included in the NCP at 40 CFR 300.425(c). Under 40 CFR 
    300.425(c)(1), a site may be included on the NPL if it scores 
    sufficiently high on the Hazard Ranking System (``HRS''), which EPA 
    promulgated as Appendix A of 40 CFR part 300. On December 14, 1990 (55 
    FR 51532), EPA promulgated revisions to the HRS partly in response to 
    CERCLA section 105(c), added by SARA. The revised HRS evaluates four 
    pathways: ground water, surface water, soil 
    
    [[Page 50436]]
    exposure, and air. The HRS serves as a screening device to evaluate the 
    relative potential of uncontrolled hazardous substances to pose a 
    threat to human health or the environment. As a matter of Agency 
    policy, those sites that score 28.50 or greater on the HRS are eligible 
    for the NPL.
        Under a second mechanism for adding sites to the NPL, each State 
    may designate a single site as its top priority, regardless of the HRS 
    score. This mechanism, provided by the NCP at 40 CFR 300.425(c)(2), 
    requires that, to the extent practicable, the NPL include within the 
    100 highest priorities, one facility designated by each State 
    representing the greatest danger to public health, welfare, or the 
    environment among known facilities in the State.
        The third mechanism for listing, included in the NCP at 40 CFR 
    300.425(c)(3), allows certain sites to be listed regardless of their 
    HRS score, if all of the following conditions are met:
         The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry 
    (ATSDR) of the U.S. Public Health Service has issued a health advisory 
    that recommends dissociation of individuals from the release.
         EPA determines that the release poses a significant threat 
    to public health.
         EPA anticipates that it will be more cost-effective to use 
    its remedial authority (available only at NPL sites) than to use its 
    removal authority to respond to the release.
        EPA promulgated an original NPL of 406 sites on September 8, 1983 
    (48 FR 40658). The NPL has been expanded since then, most recently on 
    May 26, 1995 (60 FR 27896).
        The NPL includes two sections, one of sites that are evaluated and 
    cleaned up by EPA (the ``General Superfund Section''), and one of sites 
    being addressed generally by other Federal agencies (the ``Federal 
    Facilities Section''). Under Executive Order 12580 (52 FR 2923, January 
    29, 1987) and CERCLA section 120, each Federal agency is responsible 
    for carrying out most response actions at facilities under its own 
    jurisdiction, custody, or control, although EPA is responsible for 
    preparing an HRS score and determining whether the facility is placed 
    on the NPL. EPA is not the lead agency at these sites, and its role at 
    such sites is accordingly less extensive than at other sites. The 
    Federal Facilities Section includes facilities at which EPA is not the 
    lead agency.
    
    Facility (Site) Boundaries
    
        The NPL does not describe releases in precise geographical terms; 
    it would be neither feasible nor consistent with the limited purpose of 
    the NPL (as the mere identification of releases), for it to do so.
        CERCLA section 105(a)(8)(B) directs EPA to list national priorities 
    among the known ``releases or threatened releases.'' Thus, the purpose 
    of the NPL is merely to identify releases that are priorities for 
    further evaluation. Although a CERCLA ``facility'' is broadly defined 
    to include any area where a hazardous substance release has ``come to 
    be located'' (CERCLA section 101(9)), the listing process itself is not 
    intended to define or reflect the boundaries of such facilities or 
    releases. Of course, HRS data upon which the NPL placement was based 
    will, to some extent, describe which release is at issue. That is, the 
    NPL site would include all releases evaluated as part of that HRS 
    analysis (including noncontiguous releases evaluated under the NPL 
    aggregation policy, described at 48 FR 40663 (September 8, 1983)).
        When a site is listed, it is necessary to define the release (or 
    releases) encompassed within the listing. The approach generally used 
    is to delineate a geographical area (usually the area within the 
    installation or plant boundaries) and define the site by reference to 
    that area. As a legal matter, the site is not coextensive with that 
    area, and the boundaries of the installation or plant are not the 
    ``boundaries'' of the site. Rather, the site consists of all 
    contaminated areas within the area used to define the site, and any 
    other location to which contamination from that area has come to be 
    located.
        While geographic terms are often used to designate the site (e.g., 
    the ``Jones Co. plant site'') in terms of the property owned by the 
    particular party, the site properly understood is not limited to that 
    property (e.g., it may extend beyond the property due to contaminant 
    migration), and conversely may not occupy the full extent of the 
    property (e.g., where there are uncontaminated parts of the identified 
    property, they may not be, strictly speaking, part of the ``site''). 
    The ``site'' is thus neither equal to nor confined by the boundaries of 
    any specific property that may give the site its name, and the name 
    itself should not be read to imply that this site is coextensive with 
    the entire area within the property boundary of the facility or plant. 
    The precise nature and extent of the site are typically not known at 
    the time of listing. Also, the site name is merely used to help 
    identify the geographic location of the contamination. For example, the 
    ``Jones Co. plant site,'' does not imply that the Jones company is 
    responsible for the contamination located on the plant site.
        EPA regulations provide that the ``nature and extent of the threat 
    presented by a release'' will be determined by a Remedial 
    Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) as more information is 
    developed on site contamination (40 CFR 300.430(d)). During the RI/FS 
    process, the release may be found to be larger or smaller than was 
    originally thought, as more is learned about the source and the 
    migration of the contamination. However, this inquiry focuses on an 
    evaluation of the threat posed; the boundaries of the release need not 
    be exactly defined. Moreover, it generally is impossible to discover 
    the full extent of where the contamination ``has come to be located'' 
    before all necessary studies and remedial work are completed at a site. 
    Indeed, the boundaries of the contamination can be expected to change 
    over time. Thus, in most cases, it may be impossible to describe the 
    boundaries of a release with absolute certainty.
        For these reasons, the NPL need not be amended if further research 
    into the extent of the contamination expands the apparent boundaries of 
    the release. Further, the NPL is only of limited significance, as it 
    does not assign liability to any party or to the owner of any specific 
    property. See Report of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public 
    Works, Senate Rep. No. 96-848, 96th Cong., 2d Sess. 60 (1980), quoted 
    above and at 48 FR 40659 (September 8, 1983). If a party does not 
    believe it is liable for releases on discrete parcels of property, 
    supporting information can be submitted to the Agency at any time after 
    a party receives notice it is a potentially responsible party.
    
    Deletions/Cleanups
    
        EPA may delete sites from the NPL where no further response is 
    appropriate under Superfund, as explained in the NCP at 40 CFR 
    300.425(e). To date, the Agency has deleted 84 sites from the General 
    Superfund Section of the NPL.
        EPA also has developed an NPL construction completion list 
    (``CCL'') to simplify its system of categorizing sites and to better 
    communicate the successful completion of cleanup activities (58 FR 
    12142, March 2, 1993). Sites qualify for the CCL when:
        (1) any necessary physical construction is complete, whether or not 
    final cleanup levels or other requirements have been achieved;
    
    [[Page 50437]]
    
        (2) EPA has determined that the response action should be limited 
    to measures that do not involve construction (e.g., institutional 
    controls); or
        (3) the site qualifies for deletion from the NPL.
    
    Inclusion of a site on the CCL has no legal significance.
        In addition to the 83 sites that have been deleted from the NPL 
    because they have been cleaned up (the Waste Research and Reclamation 
    site was deleted based on deferral to another program and is not 
    considered cleaned up), an additional 221 sites are also in the NPL 
    CCL. Thus, as of September 1995, the CCL consists of 304 sites.
        Cleanups at sites on the NPL do not reflect the total picture of 
    Superfund accomplishments. As of August, 1995, EPA had commenced 679 
    removal actions at NPL sites, and 2,108 removal actions at non-NPL 
    sites. Information on removals is available from the Superfund hotline.
    
    Action In This Notice
    
        This final rule adds 8 sites to the NPL, 6 to the General Superfund 
    Section and 2 to the Federal Facilities Section. Seven of these sites 
    are added to the NPL based on an HRS score of 28.5 or greater and one 
    is added based on the ATSDR Health Advisory Criteria. This notice also 
    drops one site from proposal to the NPL. This action results in an NPL 
    of 1,238 sites, 1,083 in the General Superfund Section and 155 in the 
    Federal Facilities Section. With the action of a proposed rule 
    published in the Federal Register issue of October 2, 1995, an 
    additional 52 sites are proposed and are awaiting final agency action, 
    47 in the General Superfund Section and 5 in the Federal Facilities 
    Section. Final and proposed sites now total 1,290.
        Based on comments received on the Plymouth Avenue Landfill site in 
    Deland, Florida, EPA recalculated the HRS score and found that it had 
    dropped below 28.5. Consequently, EPA is not taking final action and is 
    withdrawing the Plymouth Avenue Landfill site from proposal to the NPL 
    at this time.

    II. Contents of This Notice
    
        This notice promulgates final rules to add 8 sites to the NPL, 6 to 
    the General Superfund Section (Table 1) and 2 to the Federal Facilities 
    Section (Table 2). The following tables present the sites in this rule 
    arranged alphabetically by State and identifies their rank by group 
    number. Group numbers are determined by arranging the NPL by rank and 
    dividing it into groups of 50 sites. For example, a site in Group 4 has 
    a score that falls within the range of scores covered by the fourth 
    group of 50 sites on the NPL.

    Public Comments
    
        EPA reviewed all comments received on sites included in this 
    notice. Based on comments received on the proposed sites, as well as 
    investigation by EPA and the States (generally in response to comment), 
    EPA recalculated the HRS scores for individual sites where appropriate. 
    EPA's response to site-specific public comments and explanations of any 
    score changes made as a result of such comments are addressed in the 
    ``Support Document for the Revised National Priorities List Final 
    Rule--September 1995.''
    
    III. Executive Order 12866
    
        The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this 
    regulatory action from Executive Order 12866 review.
    
    IV. Unfunded Mandates
    
        Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Pub. 
    L. 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the 
    effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal 
    governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, EPA 
    generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-benefit 
    analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal mandates'' that 
    may result in expenditures to State, local, and tribal governments, in 
    the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any 
    one year. When a written statement is needed for an EPA rule, section 
    205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA to identify and consider a 
    reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt the least 
    costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative that 
    achieves.
        The Headquarters and Regional public dockets for the NPL contain 
    documents relating to the evaluation and scoring of the site in this 
    final rule. The dockets are available for viewing, by appointment only, 
    after the appearance of this notice. The hours of operation for the 
    Headquarters docket are from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through 
    Friday, excluding Federal holidays. Please contact the Regional Docket 
    for hours.

        For the sites added to the NPL based on an HRS score of 28.5 or 
    greater, the Headquarters docket for this rule contains HRS score 
    sheets for the final sites; Documentation Records for the sites 
    describing the information used to compute the scores; pertinent 
    information regarding statutory requirements or EPA listing policies 
    that affect the sites; and a list of documents referenced in each of 
    the Documentation Records. For the site being listed based on ATSDR 
    Health Advisory criteria, the Headquarters docket contains the health 
    advisory issued by ATSDR and other supporting documentation. For all of 
    the final sites, the Headquarters docket contains comments received; 
    and the Agency's responses to those comments. The Agency's responses 
    are contained in the ``Support Document for the Revised National 
    Priorities List Final Rule--September 1995.''
        A general discussion of the statutory requirements affecting NPL 
    listing, the purpose and implementation of the NPL, the economic 
    impacts of NPL listing, and the analysis required under the Regulatory 
    Flexibility Act is included as part of the Headquarters rulemaking 
    docket in the ``Additional Information'' document.
        The Regional docket contains all the information in the 
    Headquarters docket, plus the actual reference documents containing the 
    data principally relied upon by EPA in calculating or evaluating the 
    HRS score, when the HRS is used, for the sites. These reference 
    documents are available only in the Regional dockets.
        Interested parties may view documents, by appointment only, in the 
    Headquarters of Regional Dockets, or copies may be requested from the 
    Headquarters or Regional Dockets. An informal written request, rather 
    than a formal request under the Freedom of Information Act, should be 
    the ordinary procedure for obtaining copies of any of these documents.

    U.S. EPA CERCLA Docket Office (Mail Code 5201G) the objectives of the 
    rule. The provisions of section 205 do not apply when they are 
    inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover, section 205 allows EPA to 
    adopt an alternative other than the least costly, most cost-effective 
    or least burdensome alternative if the Administrator publishes with the 
    final rule an explanation why that alternative was not adopted. Before 
    EPA establishes any regulatory requirements that may significantly or 
    uniquely affect small governments, including tribal governments, it 
    must have developed under section 203 of the UMRA a small government 
    agency plan. The plan must provide for notifying potentially affected 
    small governments, giving them meaningful and timely input in the 
    development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant Federal 
    intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and advising them 
    on compliance with the regulatory requirements.
        Today's rule contains no Federal mandates (within the meaning of 
    Title II of the UMRA) for State, local, or tribal governments or the 
    private sector. Nor does it contain any regulatory requirements that 
    might significantly or uniquely affect small governments. This is 
    because today's listing decision does not impose any enforceable duties 
    upon any of these governmental entities or the private sector. 
    Inclusion of a site on the NPL does not itself impose any costs. It 
    does not establish that EPA necessarily will undertake remedial action, 
    nor does it require any action by a private party or determine its 
    liability for site response costs. Costs that arise out of site 
    responses result form site-by-site decisions about what actions to 
    take, not directly from the act of listing itself. Therefore, today's 
    rulemaking is not subject to the requirements of sections 202, 203 or 
    205 of the Unfunded Mandates Act.
    
    V. Governor's Concurrence
    
        On July 27, 1995, Congress enacted Public Law (P.L.) 104-19, which 
    made emergency supplemental appropriations and rescissions for the 
    fiscal year ending September 30, 1995. Section 1006 of P.L. 104-19 
    provides that EPA may not use funds made available for fiscal year 1995 
    for listing or to list any additional facilities on the National 
    Priorities List * * * unless the Administrator receives a written 
    request to propose for listing or to list a facility from the Governor 
    of the State in which the facility is located * * *.
    
    EPA has received letters from the appropriate governors requesting that 
    the Agency list on the NPL all the facilities in this final rule. These 
    letters are available in the docket for this rulemaking.
