ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1986-0005; FRL-9990-14-Region 2]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Partial Deletion of the Robintech, Inc./
National Pipe Co. Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; notification of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 is 
concurrently issuing this Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion (NOIPD) 
and a Notice of Partial Deletion (NOPD) of the Robintech, Inc./National 
Pipe Co. Superfund site (Site), located in the Town of Vestal, New 
York. The Site includes an approximately 12.7-acre parcel of property 
(hereinafter, ``Property'') and areas that have been affected by the 
release or threat of release of hazardous substances to the west of the 
Property extending toward the Susquehanna River (hereinafter, ``Off-
Property''). Because no further response actions under the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 
as amended (CERCLA), other than groundwater monitoring, periodic IC 
verification, and five-year reviews, as well as O&M activities, as 
necessary, are needed for the Property's overburden soil and overburden 
groundwater and an approximately 9.7-acre portion of the bedrock 
aquifer underlying the Property, EPA is issuing this NOIPD of this area 
of the Site from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public 
comments on this proposed action.

DATES: Comments must be received by April 12, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID no. EPA-HQ-
SFUND-1986-0005, by mail to Mark Granger, Remedial Project Manager, 
Emergency and Remedial Response Division, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region 2, 290 Broadway, 20th Floor, New York, NY 10007-1866. 
Comments may also be submitted electronically or through hand delivery/
courier by following the detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section 
of the direct final rule located in the rules section of this Federal 
Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Granger at the address noted 
above; telephone at 212-637-3351; or by email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this issue of the Federal Register, EPA is publishing a direct final 
Notice of Partial Deletion (NOPD) of the Site concurrently with this 
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 and Regulations'' section of this 
Federal Register.
