ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7140-2]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of deletion for the White Bridge Road property of the 
Asbestos Dump Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of the White Bridge Road property of the Asbestos Dump 
Superfund Site (Site) from the National Priorities List (NPL). The 
Asbestos Dump Site is listed on the NPL as being located in Millington, 
New Jersey; however, the portion of the Site which is the subject of 
this deletion, the White Bridge Road property, is located in Long Hill 
Township, New Jersey. 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. EPA and the New Jersey Department of 
Environmental Protection have determined that all appropriate Fund-
financed responses under CERCLA, as amended, have been implemented at 
the White Bridge Road property of the Asbestos Dump Site and that no 
further response action by responsible parties is appropriate. This 
partial deletion pertains only to the White Bridge Road property and 
does not include the other properties which make up the Asbestos Dump 
Site, which remain on the NPL.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 8, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kim O'Connell, Chief, Southern New 
Jersey Remediation Section, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region II, 290 Broadway--19th Floor, New York, NY 10007-1866, (212) 
637-4399.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To be deleted from the NPL is: the White 
Bridge Road property of the Asbestos Dump Superfund Site, Long Hill 
Township, New Jersey. A Notice of Intent to Delete for this portion of 
the Asbestos Dump Site was published in the Federal Register on 
December 13, 2001 (66 FR 64387). The closing date for comments on the 
Notice of Intent to Delete was January 14, 2002. EPA received no 
comments regarding this action. 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. As 
described in Sec. 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP, any site or portion thereof 
deleted from the NPL remains eligible for remedial actions in the 
unlikely event that conditions at the site warrant such action in the 
future. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible 
party liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs associated 
with response efforts.
