ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-4833-4]

 

National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Monroe Township Landfill Superfund 
Site from the National Priorities List (NPL).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II announces 
the deletion of the Monroe Township Landfill Superfund site in 
Middlesex County, New Jersey from the National Priorities List (NPL). 
The NPL is appendix B of 40 CFR part 300, the National Oil and 
Hazardous Substances Pollution 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: February 3, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. John Osolin, Remedial Project 
Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region II, 26 Federal 
Plaza, room 747, New York, New York 10278, (212) 264-9301.

ADDRESSES: Comprehensive information on this site is available only at 
the following addresses:

    Monroe Township Municipal Complex, Perrinville Road Jamesburg, NJ 
08831, Phone: (908) 521-4400.
    Jamesburg Public Library, 229 Gatzmer Road, Jamesburg, NJ 08831, 
Phone (908) 521-0440.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is:

    Monroe Township Landfill Site in Middlesex County, New Jersey.
    A notice of itent to delete for this site was published December 2, 
1993 (58 FR 63551). The closing date for comments on the notice of 
intent to delete was January 3, 1994. 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.
