ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5301-7]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company 
(DuPont) County Road X23 Superfund Site from the National Priorities 
List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region VII announces 
the deletion of the E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company County Road X23 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL 
constitutes appendix B of 40 CFR Part 300 which is the National Oil and 
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) which the EPA 
promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended. This 
action is being taken as Superfund Remedial Activities have been 
completed at the Site and EPA and the State of Iowa have determined 
that no further cleanup by the Responsible Party is appropriate under 
CERCLA. Moreover, EPA and the State have determined that CERCLA 
activities conducted at the Site to date have been protective of public 
health, welfare and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 25, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul W. Roemerman, Remedial Project 
Manager, Superfund Branch, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 
VII, 726 Minnesota Ave., Kansas City, KS 66101, (913) 551-7694.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is the 
E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company County Road X23 Superfund Site, 
Fort Madison, Lee County, Iowa.
    A notice of intent to delete for this site was published August 30, 
1994 (59 FR 44689). The closing date for comments was thirty (30) days 
after the notice was published. EPA did not receive any comments on the 
proposed deletion.
    Based upon a review of monitoring data from the site, EPA in 
consultation with the State of Iowa has determined that the site does 
not pose a significant risk to human health or the environment. The 
site shall be monitored in accordance with the Operation and Monitoring 
Plan approved by EPA.
    EPA, in conjunction with the State of Iowa, will conduct future 
reviews of monitoring data at a minimum of every five years, or until 
such time when no hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants 
remain at the site above levels that allow for unrestricted use and 
unlimited exposure.
    The EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk 
to public health, welfare, or the environment and maintains the NPL as 
the list of those sites. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of 
remedial actions financed by the Hazardous Substance Response Fund 
(Fund). Pursuant to Sec. 105(e) of CERCLA, any site deleted from the 
NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed Remedial Actions if conditions 
at the site warrant such action. Deletion from the NPL does not affect 
responsible party liability or impede EPA efforts to recover costs 
associated with response efforts.
