National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Saco Tannery Waste Pits Site From the
National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region I announces
the deletion of the Saco Tannery Waste Pits Site from the National
Priorities List (NPL). The NPL constitutes Appendix B (40 CFR Part
300), to the National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency
Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act,
(CERCLA) as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
Act. After consultation with the State of Maine, EPA has determined
that all appropriate response actions have been implemented.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 29, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Terrence Connelly, Remedial Project
Manager, U.S. EPA Region I , 1 Congress St., Suite 1100 (HBT), Boston,
MA 02114-2023, (617) 918-1373.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The site to be deleted from the NPL is: Saco Tannery Waste Pits
Site, Saco, Maine.
A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published on August
16, 1999, 64 FR 44458, which provided a thirty-day public comment
period. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete
was September 15, 1999. EPA received no comments.
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 these sites. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of remedial
actions financed by the Hazardous Substance Superfund Response Trust
Fund (Fund). Pursuant to Sec. 300.425 (e)(3) of the NCP, any site
deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed remedial
actions if 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.
