ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1983-0002; FRL-9922-36-Region-2]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Partial Deletion of the Fulton Terminals 
Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of intent for partial deletion.

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

SUMMARY: The Fulton Terminals Superfund site (Site), located in the 
City of Fulton, Oswego County, New York, consists of an ``On-Property'' 
portion, an approximately 1.5-acre parcel of land bounded on the west 
by First Street, on the south by Shaw Street, on the east by New York 
State Route 481 and on the north by a warehouse, and an ``Off-
Property'' portion, defined by the area between the On-Property 
portion's western property boundary to the Oswego River (approximately 
50 feet).
    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 2, is issuing 
this Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion (NOIPD) of the On-Property 
portion of the Site from the National Priorities List (NPL) and 
requests public comments on this proposed action. The NPL, promulgated 
pursuant to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an 
appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution 
Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA and the State of New York, through the New 
York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), have 
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been 
completed at the Site and that the soil on the On-Property portion of 
the Site and the groundwater beneath the On-Property portion of the 
Site no longer pose a threat to public health or the environment. 
Therefore, EPA and NYSDEC have concluded that this NOIPD, which 
pertains only to the On-Property portion of the Site, may proceed. The 
Off-Property portion of the Site will remain on the NPL. Because 
residual groundwater contamination remains in the Off-Property portion 
of the Site, groundwater monitoring and five-year reviews will still be 
required for this the Off-Property portion of the Site.

DATES: Comments must be received by March 6, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID no. EPA-HQ-
SFUND-1983-0002, by mail to Christos Tsiamis, Remedial Project Manager,

Register.

or by email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of 
today's Federal Register, EPA is publishing a direct final Notice of 
Partial Deletion (NOPD) of the Site without prior NOIPD because EPA 
views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse 
comment. EPA has explained its reasons for this partial deletion in the 
preamble to the direct final Notice of Partial Deletion. If EPA 
receives no adverse comment(s) on this NOIPD or the direct final NOPD, 
EPA will proceed with the partial deletion without further action on 
this NOIPD. If EPA receives adverse comment(s), EPA will withdraw the 
direct final NOPD, and it will not take effect. EPA will, as 
appropriate, address all public comments in a subsequent final NOPD 
based on this NOIPD. EPA will not institute a second comment period on 
this NOIPD. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this 
time.
    For additional information, see the direct final NOPD, which is 
located in the ``Rules'' section of this Federal Register.
