ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5067-9]

 

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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the North U Drive Site from the National 
Priorities List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region VII announces 
the deletion of the North U Drive Site in Springfield, Missouri, from 
the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is appendix B of 40 CFR 
part 300 which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency 
Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. The EPA and the State of Missouri have 
determined that the contaminant releases do not pose a significant 
threat to human health, welfare, or the environment. Therefore, no 
further response action is appropriate.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 8, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Sturgess, Missouri Department of 
Natural Resources, Hazardous Waste Program, Superfund Section, P.O. Box 
176, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102, telephone (314) 751-1807 or Ronald 
King, Environmental Protection Agency, 726 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas 
City, Kansas 66101, telephone (913) 551-7568.

ADDRESSES: Comprehensive information on this site is available at the 
following locations: Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) 
Hazardous Waste Program File Room (205 Jefferson Street) in Jefferson 
City, Missouri; at EPA Region VII Waste Management Division Records 
Center, 726 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas; and at the Kearney 
Branch Library, 630 W. Kearney, Springfield, Missouri 65801.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
North U Drive site, Springfield, Missouri.
    A notice of intent to delete for this site was published in the 
Federal Register June 24, 1994 (59 FR 32673). The closing date for 
comments on the notice of intent was July 25, 1994. No comments were 
received on the proposed deletion. Therefore, no responsiveness summary 
was prepared.
    Based on a review of environmental and other data for this site, 
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and EPA have 
determined that the site does not pose a significant risk to human 
health or the environment. The site shall continue to be monitored by 
the MDNR. MDNR and EPA will review the ground water monitoring as part 
of each five-year review.
    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 
Fund-financed remedial actions. 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. Section 300.425(e)(3) of 
the NCP provides that Fund-financed actions may be taken at sites 
deleted from the NPL when conditions warrant. Deletion of a site from 
the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede EPA 
efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
