ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6869-5]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed direct final deletion of the Cliff/Dow Dump Superfund 
Site (Site) from the National Priorities List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to delete the Cliff/Dow Dump 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 published elsewhere in this issue of the 
Federal Register. 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 October 18, 
2000.

Manager, or Gladys Beard, Associate Remedial Project Manager, U.S.
