[FRL-6173-7]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Coshocton Landfill Superfund Site 
from the National Priorities List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency announces the deletion of 
the Coshocton Landfill Superfund Site in Ohio 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. This action is being taken by EPA and the State 
of Ohio, because it has been determined that Responsible Parties have 
implemented all appropriate response actions required. Moreover, EPA 
and the State of Ohio have determined that remedial actions conducted 
at the site to date remain protective of public health, welfare, and 
the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 7, 1998.

Region V, 77 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604. Information on the 
site is available at the local information repository located at: 
Coshocton Public Library, 655 Main Street, Coshocton, Ohio 43182.

Docket Office is Jan Pfundheller (H-7J), U.S. EPA, Region V, 77 W. 
Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604, (312) 353-5821.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Coshocton Landfill located in Coshocton, Ohio. A Notice of Intent to 
Delete for this site was published August 28, 1998 (63 FR 45781). The 
closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was 
September 28, 1998. EPA received no comments and therefore no 
Responsiveness Summary was prepared.
    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 (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.
