ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7019-7]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Sussex County Landfill No. 5 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region III is 
issuing a notice of intent to delete the Sussex County Landfill No. 5 
Superfund Site (Site) located in Sussex County near Laurel, DE, from 
the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this 
notice of intent. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is found at Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 300 
of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
(NCP). The EPA and the State of Delaware, through the Delaware 
Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, have 
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other 
than operation and maintenance and five-year reviews, have been 
completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions 
under Superfund.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of today's Federal 
Register, we are publishing a direct final notice of deletion of the 
Sussex County Landfill No. 5 Superfund Site without prior notice of 
intent to delete because we view this as a noncontroversial revision 
and anticipate no adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for 
this deletion in the preamble to the direct final deletion. If we do 
not receive any adverse comment(s) on the direct final notice of 
deletion, we will not take further action on this notice of intent to 
delete. If we receive adverse comment(s), we will withdraw the direct 
final notice of deletion and it will not take effect. We will, as 
appropriate, address all public comments in a subsequent final deletion 
notice based on this notice of intent to delete. We will not institute 
a second comment period on this notice of intent to delete. Any parties 
interested in commenting must do so at this time. For additional 
information, see the Direct Final Notice of Deletion which is located 
in the Rules section of this Federal Register.

DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by August 29, 
2001.

Community Involvement Coordinator, U.S. EPA Region III (3HS43), 1650
