ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5642-7]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Seldon Clark Property from the 
General Electric/Shepherd Farm Superfund Site, East Flat Rock, 
Henderson County, North Carolina from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 announces 
the deletion of the Seldon Clark Property portion of the General 
Electric/Shepherd Farm 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 of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural 
Resources have determined that the Seldon Clark Property poses no 
significant threat to public health or the environment and, therefore, 
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and 
Liability Act (CERCLA) remedial measures are not appropriate. This 
deletion does not preclude future action under Superfund.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 1, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Giezelle Bennett, Remedial Project 
Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, North Site 
Management Branch, 100 Alabama Street, S.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30303-
3014, (404) 562-8824.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Site affected by this partial deletion 
from the NPL is: General Electric/Shepherd Farm Superfund Site in 
Henderson County, North Carolina.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published on 
September 3, 1996 at 61 FR 46418 (FRL-5557-7). The closing date for 
comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was October 3, 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 or portion thereof 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.
