ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7500-5]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Petrochem Recycling Corp./
Ekotek, Inc., Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 is issuing 
a Notice of Intent to Delete the Petrochem Recycling Corp./Ekotek, 
Inc., 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

[[Page 27955]]

(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 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 
Petrochem Recycling Corp./Ekotek, Inc., 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.
