[[Page 37199]]

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 is issuing 
a Notice of Intent to Delete the Buckeye Reclamation Landfill Superfund 
Site (Buckeye Site) located in St. Clairsville, Ohio, 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 Ohio (Ohio), through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency 
(OEPA), have determined that all appropriate response actions under 
CERCLA, other than operation and maintenance, monitoring and five-year 
reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude 
future actions under Superfund.

DATES: Comments must be received by August 30, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID no. EPA-HQ-
SFUND-1983-0002, by mail to Randolph Cano, NPL Deletion Coordinator, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 (SR-6J), 77 West Jackson 
Boulevard, Chicago, IL 60604. Comments may also be submitted 
electronically or through hand delivery/courier by following the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of 
this issue of the Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final 
Notice of Deletion of the Buckeye Site without prior Notice of Intent 
to Delete because we view this as a noncontroversial revision and 
anticipate no adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for this 
deletion in the preamble to the direct final Notice of Deletion, and 
those reasons are incorporated herein. If we receive no adverse 
comment(s) on this deletion action, we will not take further action on 
this Notice of Intent to Delete. If we receive adverse comment(s), we 
will withdraw the direct final Notice of Deletion, and it will not take 
effect. We will, as appropriate, address all public comments in a 
subsequent final Notice of Deletion based on this Notice of Intent to 
Delete. We will not institute a second comment period on this Notice of 
Intent to Delete. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at 
this time.
    For additional information, see the direct final Notice of Deletion 
which is located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this issue 
of the Federal Register.
