National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Martin-Marietta/Sodyeco 
Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule, reopening of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 issued a 
Notice of Intent to Delete the Martin-Marietta/Sodyeco Superfund Site 
from the National Priorities List (NPL) on September 30, 2011, (76 FR 
60777). The NPL, promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(CERCLA or Superfund) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the 
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). 
EPA, with the concurrence of the State of North Carolina, through the 
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), has determined 
that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than 
operation, maintenance, and five-year reviews, have been completed.
    The rationale for deleting the Martin-Marietta/Sodyeco Superfund 
Site has not changed. The Federal Register notice for the proposed 
deletion (76 FR 60777) discusses this rationale in detail.

DATES: Comments concerning the proposed deletion may be submitted to 
EPA on or before December 19, 2011.

or viruses.
