ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2000-0003; FRL-9984-45--Region 4]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Davis Timber Company 
Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 announces 
the deletion of the Davis Timber Company Superfund Site (Site) located 
in Hattiesburg, Lamar County, Mississippi, from the National Priorities 
List (NPL). 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). The EPA and the 
State of Mississippi, through the Mississippi Department of 
Environmental Quality (MDEQ), have determined that all appropriate 
response actions under CERCLA, other than operation and maintenance, 
and five-year reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does 
not preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES: This action is effective September 25, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Docket: EPA has established a docket for this action under 
Docket Identification No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-2000-0003. All documents in the 
docket are listed on the http://www.regulations.gov website. Although

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Davis Timber Company Superfund Site (Site) located in Hattiesburg, 
Lamar County, Mississippi. A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site 
was published in the Federal Register 83 FR 33182 on July 17, 2018.
    The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was 
August 16, 2018. One public comment was received and it does not 
address the rule-making or deletion. Since the comment was not related 
to the deletion of this Site, EPA believes the deletion action is 
appropriate. A responsiveness summary was prepared and placed in both 
the docket, EPA-HQ-SFUND-2000-0003, on www.regulations.gov, and in the 
local repositories listed above.
    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.
