ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1989-0008; FRL-8268-5]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Berkley Products Company Dump 
Priorities List Site from the National Priorities List; request for 
comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region III announces 
its intent to delete Berkley Products Company Dump Superfund Site 
(Site), located in West Cocalico Township, Lancaster County, 
Pennsylvania from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests 
public comment on this proposed action. The NPL constitutes 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 (CERCLA).
    EPA bases its proposal to delete the Site on the determination by 
EPA and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, through the Pennsylvania 
Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), that all appropriate 
actions under CERCLA, other than operation and maintenance and five-
year reviews, have been implemented to protect human health, welfare 
and the environment. However, this deletion does not preclude future 
actions under Superfund.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of today's Federal 
Register, EPA is publishing a direct final notice of deletion of 
Berkley Products Company Dump Superfund Site without prior notice of 
intent to delete because EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision 
and anticipates no adverse comment. EPA has explained its reasons for 
this deletion in the preamble to the direct final deletion. If EPA 
receives no adverse comment(s) on this notice of intent to delete or 
the direct final notice of deletion, EPA will not take further action. 
If EPA receives 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. 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.
