ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5294-3]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Jackson Township Landfill Superfund 
Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II announces 
the deletion of the Jackson Township Landfill Superfund site (Site) in 
Ocean 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 at the Site 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: September 13, 1995.

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

Jackson Township Municipal Complex, RD#4, Box 1000, Jackson, NJ 08527, 
Phone: (908) 928-1200

Agency, Region II, 290 Broadway, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10007-
1866, (212) 637-4413.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Jackson Township Landfill Site in Ocean County, New Jersey.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published April 26, 
1995 (60 FR 20473). The closing date for comments on the Notice of 
Intent to Delete was May 26, 1995. 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.
