ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5176-9]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Crystal City Airport Superfund Site
(Site) from the National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the
deletion of the Site in Crystal City, Texas, 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
of 1980, as amended (CERCLA). EPA and the State of Texas 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 Texas have
determined that remedial actions conducted at the Site to date have
been protective of public health, welfare, and the environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 23, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ernest R. Franke, Remedial Project Manager, US EPA, Region 6, 1445 Ross
Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733, (214) 665-8521.
[[Page 15248]] SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Site to be deleted from
the NPL is the ``Crystal City Airport Superfund Site,'' Crystal City,
Texas. A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published on
January 4, 1995 (60 FR 422). The closing date for public comment was
February 3, 1995. EPA received no comments during the comment period.
EPA identifies sites which appear to present a significant risk to
public health, welfare, or the environment and maintains the NPL as a
list of the most serious of those sites. Sites on the NPL may be the
subject of remedial response actions financed using the Hazardous
Substance Response Trust Fund (Fund). 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 in the event of a significant
release from a site deleted from the NPL, the site shall be restored to
the NPL without application of the Hazard Ranking System. Deletion of a
site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede
agency efforts to recover costs associated with response actions.
