ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5461-3]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Deletion Amnicola Dump Superfund Site Chattanooga, 
Tennessee from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 announces 
the deletion of the Amnicola Dump Superfund Site from the National 
Priorities List (NPL), Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 300 which is the 
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). 
EPA and the State have determined that all appropriate Fund-financed 
responses under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, 
and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended, have been implemented and that 
no further cleanup is appropriate. Moveover, EPA and the State have 
determined that remedial actions conducted at the site to date have 
been protective of public health, welfare and the environment. This 
deletion does not preclude future action under Superfund.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 15, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert West, Remedial Project Manager, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, North Superfund 
Remedial Branch, 345 Courtland Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30365, 
(404) 347-7791, extension 2033.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Amnicola Dump Superfund Site in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published on 
February 22, 1996, (FR-5436-5). The closing date for comments on the 
Notice of Intent to Delete was March 22, 1996. EPA received no 
comments.
    EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to 
the public health, welfare and the environment and it maintains the NPL 
as the list of those sites. Any site deleted from the NPL remains 
eligible for Fund-financed remedial actions in the future. Section 
300.425(e)(3) 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 
costs associated with response efforts.
