ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6849-8]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed deletion of the Warwick Landfill Site from the 
National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to delete 
the Warwick Landfill Site (Site), which is located in the Town of 
Warwick, Orange County, New York, from the National Priorities List 
(NPL) and requests public comment on this action. The NPL constitutes 
Appendix B of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution 
Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR Part 300, which EPA promulgated pursuant 
to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,

[[Page 49777]]

Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) as amended. EPA and 
the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation 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 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action will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 September 
14, 2000.
