ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-7973-9]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Nutmeg Valley Road Site from the 
National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'' or the 
``Agency'') New England (Region 1) announces the deletion of the Nutmeg 
Valley Road Site (``Site'') from the National Priorities List 
(``NPL''). The NPL constitutes appendix B of 40 part 300 which is the 
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
(``NCP''), which EPA promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act 
(``CERCLA'') of 1980, as amended. EPA and the Connecticut Department of 
Environmental Protection (``CT DEP'') have determined that the Site 
poses no significant threat to public health or the environment and, 
therefore, no further remedial measures pursuant to CERCLA are 
appropriate.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 23, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Lumino, Remedial Project 
Manager, at 617-918-1348, or, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is:
    Nutmeg Valley Road Site, Wolcott, New Haven County, Connecticut.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published in the 
Federal Register on August 5, 2005 (70 FR 45334). The closing date for 
comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was September 6, 2005. No 
comments were received therefore, EPA has not prepared a Responsiveness 
Summary.
    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. Any site deleted from the NPL remains eligible 
for fund-financed remedial actions in the unlikely event that 
conditions at the site warrant such action. Section 300.425(e)(3) of 
the NCP states that fund-financed actions may be taken at sites deleted 
from the NPL. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect 
responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs 
associated with response efforts.
