SUMMARY:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 is publishing a Notice of Deletion of the Compass Industries Landfill Superfund Site (Site), located in the Chandler Park area west of Tulsa, Tulsa County, Oklahoma, from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is found at Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the State of Oklahoma, through the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ), have determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than operation and maintenance and five-year reviews, have been completed.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

July 18, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Katrina Coltrain, Remedial Project Manager (RPM), U.S. EPA Region 6 (6SF-LP), 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, TX 75202-2733, [phone] or 1-800-533-3508 ([e-mail]).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A Notice of intent to Delete for this Site was published in the Federal Register on May 16, 2002 (67 FR 34886). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was June 17, 2002. No comments were received, therefore EPA has not prepared a Responsiveness Summary.

The EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health or the environment and maintains the NPL as the list of those sites. As described in § 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP, sites deleted from the NPL remain eligible for remedial actions if conditions at a deleted 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.
