ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5468-7]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the East Bethel Demolition Landfill 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of the East Bethel Demolition Landfill site in Anoka, 
Minnesota 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 
Minnesota have determined that all appropriate Fund-financed responses 
under CERCLA have been implemented and that no further response by 
responsible parties under CERCLA is appropriate.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 7, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rita Garner-Davis at (312) 886-2440, 
Associate Remedial Project Manager, Superfund Division, U.S. EPA--
Region V, 77 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604. Information on the 
site is available at: EPA Region V docket room at the above address and 
at the East Bethel City Hall and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 
Public Library, 520 Lafayette RD. St. Paul, MN 55155-4194.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is the 
East Bethel Demolition Landfill Site in Anoka County, Minnesota. A 
Notice of Intent to Delete was published March 13, 1996, (61 FR 10298) 
for this site. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to 
Delete was April 12, 1996. EPA received no comments.
    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-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 300.425(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.
