ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7097-2]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan; National 
Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete a portion of the Sangamo Weston/
Twelve Mile Creek/Lake Hartwell (Sangamo) Superfund Site from the 
National Priorities List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), 
Region 4, announces its intent to partially delete a portion of the 
Sangamo Superfund Site, located in Pickens, South Carolina, from the 
National Priorities List (NPL) and is only requesting adverse public 
comment(s) on this notice. The proposed partial deletion is for the 
Dodgens remote property which is located within a few miles of the main 
plant property. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended, is appendix B of 40 CFR part 300, which 
is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency 
Plan. The EPA and the State of South Carolina Department of Health and 
Environmental Control have determined that all appropriate response 
actions under CERCLA have been completed for the Dodgens remote 
property. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under 
CERCLA. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of today's Federal 
Register, we are publishing a direct final notice of deletion of the 
Dodgens portion of the Sangamo Superfund Site without prior notice of 
intent to delete because we view this as a noncontroversial revision 
and anticipate no adverse comments. We have explained our reasons for 
this deletion in the preamble to the direct final notice of deletion. 
If we receive no adverse comment(s), 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 and Regulations'' section of 
this Federal Register.

DATES: Comments concerning this notice of intent to partially delete a 
portion of the Sangamo Site must be received by January 4, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed to: Sheri Cresswell, US EPA, 
Region 4, 61 Forsyth St., WD-NSMB, SW, Atlanta, GA, 30303.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please contact either Sheri Cresswell 
(Remedial Project Manager) at 803-896-4171 or Tiki Whitfield (Community 
Relations Coordinator) at 1-800-435-9233 or 404-562-8530.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information, see the Direct 
Final Notice of Deletion which is located in the Rules section of this 
Federal Register.
