ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5064-7]

 

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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Bioclinical Laboratories site from 
the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II announces 
the deletion of the Bioclinical Laboratories (BCL) site from the 
National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is appendix B of 40 CFR part 
300 which is 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 (CERCLA), as amended. EPA and the State of New York have 
determined that no further action is appropriate at the BCL site under 
CERCLA. Moreover, EPA and the State of New York have determined that 
activities conducted at the BCL site to date have been protective of 
public health, welfare, and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 11, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Damian J. Duda, Remedial Project 
Manager, Emergency and Remedial Response Division, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region II, room 29-100, 26 Federal Plaza, New York, 
New York 10278; telephone 212-264-9589.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is the 
Bioclinical Laboratories site, Suffolk County, New York. A notice of 
intent to delete for this site was published in the Federal Register 
(59 FR 23819) on May 9, 1994. The closing date for comments on the 
notice of intent to delete was June 7, 1994. EPA did not receive any 
comments on the proposed deletion.
    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-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 states that Fund-financed 
actions may be taken at the 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 actions.
