ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5650-2]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the St. Augusta Landfill/Engen Dump Site 
from the National Priorities List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) announces 
the deletion of the St. Augusta Landfill/Engen Dump Site in 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 US EPA promulgated pursuant to Section 
105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and 
Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. US 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 is appropriate. Moreover, US EPA and the State of 
Minnesota have determined that remedial actions conducted at the site 
to date remain protective of public health, welfare, and the 
environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 14, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Rita Garner at (312) 886-2440, Associate Remedial Project Manager,

repository located at: Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, 520

copies of documents should be directed formally to the Regional Docket

Pfundheller (H-7J), US EPA, Region 5, 77 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago. IL

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is the 
St. Augusta Landfill/Engen Dump Site, Stearns County, Minnesota. A 
Notice of Intent to Delete was published July 22, 1996 (61 FR 37876) 
for this site. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to 
Delete was August 21, 1996. US EPA received no comments.
    The US EPA identified 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 (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.
