ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-7797-5]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of deletion for the Hooker (102nd Street) Superfund Site
from the National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II Office
announces the deletion of the Hooker (102nd Street) Superfund Site from
the National Priorities List (NPL). The Hooker (102nd Street) Site is
located in the City of Niagara Falls, Niagara County, New York. The NPL
is Appendix B to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR part 300, which the EPA promulgated
pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. The EPA
and New York State, through the Department of Environmental
Conservation (NYSDEC) have determined that all appropriate response
actions have been implemented and that no further response actions,
other than operation, maintenance, and monitoring, are required. In
addition, the EPA and the NYSDEC have determined that the remedial
action taken at the Hooker (102nd Street) Site is protective of public
health, welfare, and the environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE: August 5, 2004.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul J. Olivo, Remedial Project
Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region II, 290 Broadway,
20th Floor, New York, New York 10007-1866, (212) 637-4280.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To be deleted from the NPL is the Hooker
(102nd Street) Superfund Site, City of Niagara Falls, Niagara County,
New York.
A Notice of Intent-to-Delete for the Hooker (102nd Street) Site was
published in the Federal Register on March 17, 2004 (69 FR 12604). The
closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent-to-Delete was April
16, 2004. The EPA received no comments on the proposed deletion. The
EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to
public health, welfare, or the environment, and the EPA maintains the
NPL as the list of those sites. As described in Sec. 300.425(e)(3) of
the NCP, any site or portion thereof deleted from the NPL remains
eligible for remedial actions in the unlikely event that conditions at
the site warrant such action in the future. Deletion of a site from the
NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede agency
efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
