ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6560-3]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Jacksonville Municipal Landfill 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 
6 announces the deletion of the Jacksonville Municipal Landfill 
Superfund Site (``the Site'') from the National Priorities List (NPL). 
The NPL constitutes appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 which is the National 
Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), which 
the EPA promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 
1980, as amended. The EPA and the State of Arkansas Department of 
Environmental Quality (ADEQ), have determined that the remedial action 
for the Site has been successfully completed and that no further action 
is warranted.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 14, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Kathleen Aisling, Remedial Project 
Manager, U.S. EPA (6SF-LT), 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733, 
(214) 665-8509 or 1-800-533-3508, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Jacksonville Municipal Landfill Site, Jacksonville, Arkansas.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published in the 
Federal Register on November 9, 1999 (60 FR 15737). The closing date 
for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was January 9, 2000. EPA 
received no comments.
    The EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk 
to public health, welfare, or the environment and maintains the NPL as 
the list of those sites. 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 remedial 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 agency efforts to recover 
costs associated with response efforts.
