ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6859-8]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency; 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the White Farm Equipment Landfill 
Superfund site (site) from the National Priorities List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The EPA Region VII announces the deletion of the White Farm 
Equipment Landfill site, Charles City, Iowa from the NPL. The NPL is 
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. The EPA 
and the state of Iowa have determined that the site poses no 
significant threat to public health or the environment and, therefore, 
no further remedial measures pursuant to CERCLA are appropriate.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 30, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Catherine Barrett, Remedial Project 
Manager, U.S. EPA, Region VII, Superfund Division, 901 North 5th 
Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101, telephone (913) 551-7704, fax (913) 
551-7063.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
White Farm Equipment Landfill site, Charles City, Iowa.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published in the 
Federal Register on September 7, 2000 (65 FR 54190). The closing date 
for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was October 10, 2000. No 
comments were received, therefore, EPA has not prepared a 
Responsiveness Summary. The EPA identifies sites that appear to present 
a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment and it 
maintains the NPL as the list of those sites. Any site deleted from the 
NPL remains eligible for fund-finances remedial actions in the unlikely 
event that conditions at the site warrant such action. Section 
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

efforts.
