ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
EPA-HQ-SFUND-1989-0008; FRL-9999-36-Region 3]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Strasburg Landfill Superfund
Site
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 3 announces
the deletion of the Strasburg Landfill Superfund Site (Site) located
south and slightly east of Strasburg Road in Newlin Township, Chester
County, Pennsylvania 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 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
through the Pennsylvania Department of Environment (PADEP, Southeast
Region), have determined that all appropriate response actions under
CERCLA, other than operation and maintenance (O&M), monitoring, and
Five-Year Reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does not
preclude future actions under Superfund.
DATES: This action is effective September 5, 2019.
ADDRESSES:
Docket: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-1989-0008. All documents in the docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is:
Strasburg Landfill Superfund Site, Strasburg Road, Newlin Township,
Chester County, Pennsylvania. A Notice of Intent to Delete for this
Site was published in the Federal Register (84 FR 31826) on July 3,
2019.
The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was
August 2, 2019. One public comment was received. The comment received
was a request for EPA to make publicly available information on Site
cleanup activities, estimates of future costs related to Site cleanup,
and the actual costs when cleanup activities are completed. Since the
comment is an informational request and is not an adverse comment
regarding the deletion of this Site, EPA still believes this deletion
action is appropriate. A responsiveness summary was prepared and placed
in both the docket, EPA-HQ-SFUND-1989-0008, 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.
