ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7905-2]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Deletion of the Syosset Landfill Superfund Site from the 
National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 Office 
announces the deletion of the Syosset Landfill Superfund Site, in the 
Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau County, New York from the National 
Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is 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 York, through the 
Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), have determined that 
responsible parties or other persons have implemented all appropriate 
response actions required. In addition, EPA and the NYSDEC have 
determined that the remedial measures taken at the Syosset Landfill 
Site protect public health, welfare, and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 28, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sherrel D. Henry, Remedial Project 
Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2, 290 Broadway, 
20th Floor, New York, New York 10007-1866, (212) 637-4273.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Syosset Landfill Superfund Site, Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau County, New 
York.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published in the 
Federal Register on February 15, 2005 (70 FR 7708). The closing date 
for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was March 17, 2005. No 
comments were received.
    The EPA maintains the NPL as the list of those sites that appear to 
present a significant risk to public health or the environment. Sites 
on the NPL can have remedial actions financed by the Hazardous 
Substances Response Fund. As described in Sec.  300.425(e)(3) of the 
NCP, any site or portion thereof deleted from the NPL remains eligible 
for Fund-financed 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.
