40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-6307-9]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of Deletion of Cedartown Municipal Landfill Superfund
Site from the National Priorities List (NPL).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA, Region 4 (EPA) announces the deletion of the Cedartown
Municipal Landfill Superfund Site from the NPL. The NPL constitutes
Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 300 which is the National Oil and Hazardous
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated
pursuant to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and a Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA). EPA and the State
of Georgia (State) have determined that all appropriate CERCLA actions
have been implemented and that no further cleanup by responsible
parties is appropriate under CERCLA. Moreover, EPA and the state have
determined that remedial activities conducted at the site to date have
been protective of public health, welfare, and the environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 10, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Comprehensive information on this Site is available through
the EPA Region 4 public docket, which is located at the Region 4 office
and is available for viewing by appointment only from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Requests for
appointments or copies of the background information from the regional
public docket should be directed to the EPA Region 4 Docket Office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA announces the deletion of the Cedartown
Municipal Landfill, Cedartown, Polk County, Georgia, from the National
Priorities List (NPL), which is Appendix B of the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA identifies
sites that 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 remedial actions
financed by the Hazardous Substances Superfund Response Trust Fund
(Fund). Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 9605 (40 CFR 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP),
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 in the future.
EPA published a Notice of Intent to Delete the Cedartown Municipal
Landfill Site from the NPL on November 23, 1998 in the Federal Register
(63 FR 64668-64669). The closing date for comments on the Notice of
Intent Delete was December 23, 1998. EPA received no comments;
therefore, no responsiveness summary is necessary for attachment to
this Notice of Deletion. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not
affect responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover
costs associated with response efforts.
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, does not
apply because this action is not a rule, as that term is defined in 5
U.S.C. 804(3).
List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 300
