ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5814-8]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.


[[Page 20124]]


ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Conklin Dumps site from the National 
Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II announces 
the deletion of the Conklin Dumps site from the National Priorities 
List (NPL). The NPL is codified as Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 300. It is 
part of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency 
Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(CERCLA), as amended. EPA and the State of New York have determined 
that all appropriate Hazardous Substance Response Trust Fund (Fund)-
financed responses under CERCLA have been implemented and that no 
further cleanup by responsible parties is appropriate. Moreover, EPA 
and the State of New York have determined that remedial actions 
conducted at the site to date have been protective of public health, 
welfare, and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 2, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Arnold R. Bernas, P.E., Remedial Project Manager, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region II, 290 Broadway, 20th Floor, 
New York, NY 10007-1866.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Arnold R. Bernas at (212) 637-3964.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Conklin Dumps site, Town of Conklin, New York. The closing date for 
comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete the site from the NPL was 
March 12, 1997. EPA did not receive any comments during the comment 
period; therefore, EPA has not prepared a Responsiveness Summary.
    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 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 300.66(c)(8) 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 EPA efforts to recover costs 
associated with response efforts.
