40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5420-9]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of Flowood Site from the National Priorities 
List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: EPA, Region 4, announces the deletion of the Flowood 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 of 1980 (CERCLA). EPA and the State of Mississippi 
(State) have determined that all appropriate CERCLA actions have been 
implemented and that no further cleanup by responsible parties is 
appropriate. Moreover, EPA 

[[Page 6116]]
and the State have determined that remedial activities conducted at the 
Site to date have been protective of public health, welfare, and the 
environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 16, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comprehensive information on this Site is available through 
the EPA Region 4 public docket, which is located at the Region 4 office 
and is available for viewing by appointment only from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., 
Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Requests for appointments or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA announces the deletion of the Flowood 
Site in Rankin County, Mississippi from the National Priorities List 
(NPL), which is Appendix B of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances 
Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). 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 Substances Superfund Response Trust Fund (Fund). Pursuant to 
42 U.S.C. section 9605 (40 CFR 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP), any site 
deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed Remedial 
Actions in the event that conditions at the site warrant such action.
    EPA published a Notice of Intent to Delete the Flowood Site from 
the NPL on June 15, 1995 in the Federal Register (60 FR 31440). EPA 
received no comments on the proposed deletion; and, therefore, no 
responsiveness summary is necessary for attachment to this Notice of 
Deletion. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect the 
responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs 
associated with response efforts.
