ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-8211-6]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the T.H. Agriculture and Nutrition 
Superfund site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of the T.H. Agriculture and Nutrition Site in the City of 
Fresno, Fresno County, California, from the National Priorities List 
(NPL). The NPL is Appendix B of 40 CFR 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 of 1980 
(CERCLA), as amended. EPA and the State of California 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.

DATES: Effective Date: August 21, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lynn Suer, Remedial Project Manager, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, 
SFD-7-2, San Francisco, California 94105, (415) 972-3148.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: T.H. 
Agriculture and Nutrition, City of Fresno, Fresno County, California. A 
Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published in the Federal 
Register on July 11, 2006 (71 FR 39032). The closing date for comments 
on the Notice of Intent to Delete was August 10. 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

[[Page 48480]]

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.
