ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7793-5]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed notice of intent to delete the South 8th Street 
Landfill Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 is issuing 
a notice of intent to delete the South 8th Street Landfill Superfund 
Site (Site) located in West Memphis, Crittenden County, Arkansas, from 
the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this 
notice of intent. 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 
of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
(NCP). The EPA and the State of Arkansas, through the Arkansas 
Department of Environmental Quality, have determined that all 
appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than operation and 
maintenance and five-year reviews, have been completed. However, this 
deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund. In the 
``Rules and Regulations'' section of today's Federal Register, we are 
publishing a direct final notice of deletion of the South 8th Street 
Landfill Superfund Site without prior notice of intent to delete 
because we view this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipate no 
adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for this deletion in the 
preamble to the direct final deletion. If we receive no adverse 
comment(s) on this notice of intent to delete or the direct final 
notice of deletion, we will not take further action on this notice of 
intent to delete. If we receive adverse comment(s), we will withdraw 
the direct final notice of deletion and it will not take effect. We 
will, as appropriate, address all public comments in a subsequent final 
deletion notice based on this notice of intent to delete. We will not 
institute a second comment period on this notice of intent to delete. 
Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. For 
additional information, see the direct final notice of deletion which 
is located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by August 30, 
2004.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Vincent Malott, 
Remedial Project Manager, U.S. EPA Region 6 (6SF-AP), 1445 Ross Avenue,
