ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7486-1]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion for the Industrial Latex Corp. Superfund 
Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II 
Office announces the deletion of the Industrial Latex Corp. Superfund 
Site from the National Priorities List (NPL). The Industrial Latex site 
is located in the Borough of Wallington, Bergen County, New Jersey. The 
NPL constitutes appendix B to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances 
Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR part 300, which EPA 
promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. 
EPA and the State of New Jersey, through the Department of 
Environmental Protection, have determined that all appropriate remedial 
actions have been completed at the Industrial Latex site and no further 
fund-financed remedial action is appropriate under CERCLA. In addition, 
EPA and the State of New Jersey have determined that the remedial 
actions taken at the Industrial Latex site protect public health and 
the environment without any further monitoring or restriction.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 21, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephanie Vaughn, Remedial Project 
Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region II, 290 Broadway, 
19th Floor, New York, New York 10007-1866, (212) 637-3914.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To be deleted from the NPL is: the 
Industrial Latex Corp. Superfund Site, Borough of Wallington, Bergen 
County, New Jersey.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for the Industrial Latex Corp. Site 
was published in the Federal Register on December 9, 2002 (67 FR 
72888). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete 
was March 1, 2003. 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 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.
