ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5512-1]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of deletion of Newport Dump Superfund Site, Wilder,
Kentucky, from the National Priorities List
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the
deletion of the Newport Dump Superfund Site in Wilder, Kentucky, from
the National Priorities List (NPL), {Appendix B of the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP)}. EPA and the
Commonwealth of Kentucky have determined that all appropriate Fund-
financed responses under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended, have been
implemented and that no further cleanup is appropriate. Moreover, EPA
and the Commonwealth of Kentucky determined that response actions
conducted at the site to date have been protective of public health,
welfare, and the environment. This deletion does not preclude future
action under Superfund.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 31, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Liza Montalvo, Remedial Project
Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, North
Superfund Remedial Branch, 345 Courtland Street NE., Atlanta, GA 30365,
(404) 347-7791, extension 2030.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is:
Newport Dump Superfund Site, Wilder, Kentucky.
A Notice of Intent To Delete for this site was published on May 16,
1988 (SW-FRL-3380-7). A Revised Notice of Intent To Delete was
published on March 8, 1996 (FRL-5436-5). The closing date for comments
on the Revised Notice of Intent To Delete was April 17, 1996. EPA
received no comments.
EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to
public health, welfare, or the environment and it maintains the NPL as
the list of those sites. Any site deleted from the NPL remains eligible
for Fund-financed remedial actions in the unlikely event that
conditions at the site warrant such action in the future. Section
300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that Fund-financed actions may be taken
at sites deleted from the NPL. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not
affect responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover
costs associated with response efforts.
