ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6861-8]


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

AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed Deletion of the Wheeling Disposal Service Company, 
Incorporated, Landfill Site (site) from the National Priorities List 
(NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The EPA Region VII proposes to delete the Wheeling Disposal 
Service Company, Incorporated, Landfill 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

[[Page 52981]]

Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. The EPA has 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 this rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no 
dissenting comments. A detailed rationale for this approval is set 
forth in the direct final rule that appears elsewhere in this issue of 
the Federal Register. If no dissenting comments are received, no 
further activity is contemplated. 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the direct final action will be withdrawn, and all public comments 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. 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 October 2, 
2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Catherine Barrett, Remedial 
Project Manager, Superfund Division, Missouri/Kansas Remedial Branch, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region VII, 901 North 5th Street, 
Kansas City, Kansas 66101. Comprehensive information on this site is 
available through the public docket which is available for viewing at 
the Site Information Repository at U.S. EPA Region VII, Superfund 
Division Records Center, 901 North 5th Street, Kansas City, Kansas 
66101 or Wheeling Local Repository, Rolling Hills Library, 514 West 
Main Street, Savannah, Missouri.
