ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2012-0063; FRL-10012-86-Region 4]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Fairfax St. Wood Treaters 
Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 announces 
the deletion of the Fairfax St. Wood Treaters Superfund Site (Site) 
located in Jacksonville, Florida, 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 
State of Florida, through the Florida Department of Environmental 
Protection (FDEP), have determined that all appropriate response 
actions under CERCLA, have been completed. However, this deletion does 
not preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES: This action is effective August 18, 2020.

ADDRESSES: 
    Docket: The EPA has established a docket for this action under 
Docket Identification No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-2012-0063. All documents in the 
docket are listed on the http://www.regulations.gov website. Although 
listed in the index, some information is not publicly available, i.e., 
Confidential Business Information or other information whose disclosure 
is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted 
material, is not placed on the internet and will be publicly available 
only in hard copy form.
    The EPA is temporarily suspending its Docket Center and Regional 
Records Centers for public visitors to reduce the risk of transmitting 
COVID-19. In addition, many site information repositories are closed 
and information in these repositories, including the deletion docket, 
has not been updated with hardcopy or electronic media. For further 
information and updates on EPA Docket Center services, please visit us 
online at https://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    The EPA continues to carefully and continuously monitor information 
from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), local area 
health departments, and our Federal partners so that we can respond 
rapidly as conditions change regarding COVID.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Fairfax St. Wood Treaters Superfund Site, Jacksonville, Florida. A 
Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published in the Federal 
Register (85 FR 36368 citation) on June 16, 2020.
    The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was 
July 16, 2020. One public comment was

received. The comment received was not related to the deletion rule-
making. A responsiveness summary was prepared and placed in the docket, 
EPA-HQ-SFUND-2012-0063, on https://www.regulations.gov.
    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 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.
