ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5181-6]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

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

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of the Independent Nail Superfund site in Beaufort, South 
Carolina 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. EPA and the State of South 
Carolina 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 
South Carolina have determined that remedial actions conducted at the 
site to date remain protective of public health, welfare, and the 
environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 3, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Terry L. Tanner, Remedial Project Manager, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, 345 Courtland Street, NE., Atlanta, GA 30365, 404/
347-7791.

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

Independent Nail Superfund Site, Beaufort, South Carolina

    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published January 
13, 1995 (60 FR 3189). The closing date for comments on the Notice of 
Intent to Delete was February 13, 1995. EPA received no comments during 
this period.
    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. 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 300.66(c)(8) 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 cost associated with 
response efforts.
