ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6844-6]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed deletion of the Windom Municipal Landfill Superfund 
Site (Site) from the National Priorities List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to delete the Windom Municipal Landfill 
Superfund site (Site) from the NPL and requests public comment on this 
action. The NPL constitutes Appendix B to Part 300 of 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 has determined that the Site currently poses no significant threat 
to public health or the environment, as defined by CERCLA, and 
therefore, further remedial measures under CERCLA are not appropriate. 
We are publishing this proposed rule without prior notification because 
the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no 
dissenting comments. A detailed rationale for this proposal is set 
forth in the direct final rule. If no dissenting comments are received, 
the deletion will become effective. If EPA receives dissenting 
comments, the direct final action will be withdrawn and all public 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. 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 September 6, 
2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Gladys Beard, Associate Remedial 
Project Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (SR-6J), 77 W. 
Jackson, Chicago, IL 60604. Comprehensive information on this Site is
