ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5632-5]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Deletion for Chemet Company Superfund Site, Fayette 
County, Tennessee, from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 announces 
the deletion of the Chemet Company 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. Moreover, 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: September 30, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert West, Remedial Project Manager, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, North Site Management 
Branch, 100 Alabama Street, S.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30303, (404) 562-
8806.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Chemet Company Superfund Site in Fayette County, Tennessee.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published on August 
21, 1996, 61 FR 43205 (FR-5556-4). The closing date for comments on the 
Notice of Intent to Delete was September 20, 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.
