AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule to Delete the D.L. Mud, Inc., Superfund Site from 
the National Priorities List and Request for Comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 announces 
its proposal to delete D.L. Mud, Inc., Superfund Site (Site) located in 
Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, from the National Priorities List (NPL) 
and requests public comments on this proposed action. The NPL, 
promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, 
is Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 300 which is the National Oil and 
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the 
State of Louisiana, through the Louisiana Department of Environmental 
Quality (LDEQ), have determined that all appropriate response actions 
under CERCLA, other than operation and maintenance and five-year 
reviews, have been completed and that the Site poses no significant 
threat to public health or the environment. However, this deletion does 
not preclude future actions under Superfund.
