ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1987-0002; FRL-9997-43-Region 7]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Partial Deletion of the Shaw Avenue Dump 
Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7 announces 
the deletion of Operable Unit 1--Chemical Fill and Contaminated Soil 
(OU1) of the Shaw Avenue Dump Superfund Site (Site) located in Charles 
City, Floyd County, Iowa, 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). This partial deletion 
pertains to Operable Unit (OU) 1--Chemical Fill and Contaminated Soil. 
OU 2--Groundwater will remain on the NPL and is not being considered 
for deletion as part of this action. The EPA and the State of Iowa, 
through the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, determined that all 
appropriate response actions under CERCLA other than operations and 
maintenance and five-year reviews have been completed at OU1. However, 
this deletion does not preclude future actions under CERCLA.

DATES: This action is effective August 8, 2019.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID 
no. EPA-HQ-SFUND-1987-0002. All documents in the docket are listed on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The portion of the Site to be deleted from 
the NPL is Operable Unit 1--Chemical Fill and Contaminated Soil of the 
Shaw Avenue Dump Superfund site, Charles City, Iowa. A Notice of Intent 
for Partial Deletion for this Site was published in the Federal 
Register on June 4, 2019 (84 FR 25725).
    The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent for Partial 
Deletion was July 5, 2019. No public comments were received, and EPA 
has determined it will proceed with the partial deletion.
    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.
