ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6572-3]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed deletion of the Upper Deerfield Township Sanitary 
Landfill Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region II Office 
proposes to delete the Upper Deerfield Township Sanitary Landfill 
Superfund Site (Site), which is located in Upper Deerfield Township, 
Cumberland County, New Jersey, from the National Priorities List (NPL) 
and requests public comment on this action. 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 Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) as amended. EPA and 
the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection have determined 
that the Site poses no significant threat to public health or the 
environment, as defined by CERCLA; and therefore, further remedial 
measures pursuant to CERCLA are not appropriate.
    We are publishing a direct final action along with this proposed 
deletion without a prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial revision and anticipates no significant adverse or 
critical comments. A detailed rationale for this approval is set forth 
in the direct final rule. If no significant adverse or critical 
comments are received, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA 
receives significant adverse or critical comments, the direct final 
action will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The 
EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested 
in commenting should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments concerning this action must be received by May 10, 
2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to: Diego M. Garcia, Remedial Project 
Manager, Emergency and Remedial Response Division, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region II, 290 Broadway, 19th Floor, New York, New 
York 10007-1866.
