ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6842-5]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of Chemform, Inc. Site from the National 
Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region IV announces 
the deletion of the Chemform, Inc. Site (Site) in Pompano Beach, 
Broward County, Florida, 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 EPA 
promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. 
EPA and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) have 
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been 
implemented and that no further response action is appropriate. 
Moreover, EPA and the FDEP have determined that the response actions 
conducted at the Site to date are protective of public health, welfare, 
and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 28, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Jamey Watt, Remedial Project 
Manager, EPA Region IV, 61 Forsyth St. SW, Atlanta, Georgia, 30303, 
(404) 562-8920.
    Comprehensive information on this Site is available through the EPA 
Region IV public docket, which is available for viewing at two 
locations. Locations and phone numbers are: USEPA Region IV Record 
Center, 61 Forsyth St. SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, (404) 562-8862 and 
the Broward County Main Public Library, Government Documents, 100 South 
Andrews Avenue N.E., Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is the 
Chemform, Inc. Site, Pompano Beach, Broward County, Florida.
    EPA published a Notice of Intent to Delete the Chemform, Inc. Site 
from the NPL on May 9, 2000 in the Federal Register (65 FR 26803). EPA 
did not receive any comments on the proposed deletion. Therefore, no 
responsiveness summary is necessary for attachment to this Notice of 
Deletion.
    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 Substances Superfund 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. 40 CFR 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states 
that Fund-financed 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.
