ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7500-7]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Delete the Rose Park Sludge Pit Superfund 
Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 is issuing 
a Notice of Intent to Delete the Rose Park Sludge Pit Superfund Site 
(Site) located in Salt Lake City, Utah, from the National Priorities 
List (NPL) and requests public comments on this Notice. 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, the National Oil and 
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the 
State of Utah, through the Utah Department of Environmental Quality 
(UDEQ), have determined that all appropriate response actions under 
CERCLA, other than five-year reviews and operation & maintenance, have 
been completed at the Site. However, this deletion does not preclude 
future actions under Superfund if determined necessary by EPA.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of today's Federal 
Register, EPA is publishing a Direct Final Notice of Deletion of the 
Rose Park Sludge Pit Superfund Site without prior notice of intent to 
delete because EPA views this as a non-controversial action. EPA has 
explained its reasons for this deletion in the preamble to the Direct 
Final Notice of Deletion. If EPA receives no significant adverse 
comment(s) on the Direct Final Notice of Deletion, EPA will not take 
further action on this Notice of Intent to Delete and deletion of the 
Site will proceed. If EPA receives significant adverse comment(s), EPA 
will withdraw the Direct Final Notice of Deletion and it will not take 
effect. EPA will, as appropriate, address all public comments in a 
subsequent final deletion notice based on this Notice of Intent to 
Delete. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this Notice 
of Intent to Delete. Any parties interested in commenting must do so 
within the time frame noted below. For additional information, see the 
Direct Final Notice of Deletion, located in the ``Rules and 
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.

DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by June 23, 2003.

Remedial Project Manager (RPM), Mail Code: 8EPR-SR, U.S. EPA Region 8,
