ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2003-0010; FRL-9996-45-Region 7]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7 announces 
the deletion of 500 residential parcels of the Omaha Lead Superfund 
site (Site or OLS) located in Omaha, Nebraska, from the National 
Priorities List (NPL). This partial deletion pertains to 500 
residential parcels. The remaining parcels will remain on the NPL and 
are not being considered for deletion as part of this 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). The EPA and the State of Nebraska, through the 
Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality, determined that all 
appropriate Response Actions under CERCLA were completed at the 
identified parcels. However, this deletion does not preclude future 
actions under CERCLA.

DATES: This action is effective July 29, 2019.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under 
Docket ID no. EPA-HQ-SFUND-2003-0010. All documents in the docket are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The portion of the site to be deleted from 
the NPL are 500 residential parcels of the Omaha Lead Superfund site, 
Omaha, Nebraska. A Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion for this Site 
was published in the Federal Register (84 FR 24069) on May 24, 2019.
    The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent for Partial 
Deletion was June 24, 2019. No public comments were received, and EPA 
has determined it will proceed with the partial deletion.
    The EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to 
present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the 
environment. Deletion of a site 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 portions 
of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability, in 
the unlikely event that future conditions warrant further actions.
