SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)--Region 2 announces 
the deletion of the Montclair/West Orange and Glen Ridge Radium 
Superfund Sites located in Montclair, West Orange, Glen Ridge, 
Bloomfield and East Orange, New Jersey from the National Priorities

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act 
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and 
Hazardous Substances Pollution

[[Page 45336]]

Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA and the State of New Jersey, through the 
Department of Environmental Protection, have determined that all 
appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been completed. However, 
this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES:  Effective Date: This action is effective October 2, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The sites to be deleted from the NPL are the 
Montclair/West Orange and Glen Ridge Radium Superfund Sites located in 
Montclair, West Orange, Glen Ridge, Bloomfield and East Orange, New 
Jersey. A Notice of Intent to Delete these sites was published in the 
Federal Register on April 29, 2009. The closing date for comments on 
the Notice of Intent to Delete was May 29, 2009. No public comments 
were received and therefore EPA has no information which leads it to 
believe that the deletion action is inappropriate.
    EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to present a 
significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment. 
Deletion from the NPL does not preclude further remedial action. 
Whenever there is a significant release from a site deleted from the 
NPL, the deleted site may be restored to the NPL without application of 
the hazard ranking system. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not 
affect responsible party liability, in the unlikely event that future 
conditions warrant further actions.
