ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7019-9]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Dixie Caverns County Landfill 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region III is 
issuing a notice of intent to delete the Dixie Caverns County Landfill 
Superfund Site (Site) located in Roanoke County, near Salem, Virginia, 
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 Commonwealth of Virginia, through the 
Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, 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 
Dixie Caverns County Landfill 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 
receive no 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
