National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Eureka Mills Superfund Site
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 announces
the deletion of the Eureka Mills Superfund Site (Site) located in
Eureka, Utah, 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 Utah, through the Utah
Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ), 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-2002-0001. All documents in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is:
Eureka Mills Superfund Site, Eureka, Utah. A Notice of Intent to Delete
for this Site was published in the Federal Register (83 FR 38672-38675)
on August 7, 2018.
The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was
September 6, 2018. Two comments were received. One comment discusses
air pollution and air monitoring in China and India. The other comment
is about air travel. These comments are not germane to the proposed
ruling. A responsiveness summary was prepared and placed in both the
docket, EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-0001, 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.
