ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7385-1]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Pinette's Salvage Yard Superfund Site 
from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: EPA--New England announces the deletion of the Pinette's 
Salvage Yard Superfund Site located in Washburn, Aroostook County, 
Maine from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated 
pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA), is found 
at Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 of the National Oil and Hazardous 
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA and the State of 
Maine, through the Department of Environmental Protection, have 
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been 
completed and the site poses no significant threat to human health or 
the environment. However, this deletion does not preclude future 
actions under Superfund.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 30, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Almerinda Silva, Remedial Project 
Manager, U.S. EPA, One Congress Street, Suite 1100, (HBT), Boston,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is the 
Pinette's Salvage Yard Superfund Site in Washburn, Aroostook County, 
Maine.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published in the 
Federal Register on Wednesday August 28, 2002 (67 FR 55187). The 
closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete is Friday, 
September 27, 2002. EPA does not expect to receive any comments, 
therefore, a Responsiveness Summary has not been prepared. If any 
substantive comments are received EPA will publish a document in the 
Federal Register addressing those comments and, if necessary, 
withdrawing the site deletion.
    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-financed 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 impede agency efforts to recover costs 
associated with response efforts.
