ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-7798-2]
National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Sharon Steel Superfund Site from
the National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 is issuing
a notice of intent to delete the Sharon Steel Superfund Site (Site)
located in Midvale, Utah, from the National Priorities List (NPL) and
requests public comments on this notice. The NPL, promulgated pursuant
to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is found
at appendix B of 40 CFR part 300, the National Oil and Hazardous
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the State of
Utah, through the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ), have
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other
than five-year reviews and operation & maintenance, have been completed
at the Site. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions
under Superfund if determined necessary by EPA.
In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of today's Federal
Register, EPA is publishing a direct final notice of deletion of the
Sharon Steel Superfund Site without prior notice of intent to delete
because EPA views this as a non-controversial action. EPA has explained
its reasons for this deletion in the preamble to the direct final
notice of deletion. If EPA receives no significant adverse comment(s)
on the direct final notice of deletion, EPA will not take further
action on this notice of intent to delete and deletion of the Site will
proceed. If EPA receives significant adverse comment(s), EPA will
withdraw the direct final notice of deletion and it will not take
effect. EPA will, as appropriate, address all public comments in a
subsequent final deletion notice based on this notice of intent to
delete. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this notice
of intent to delete. Any parties interested in commenting must do so
within the time-frame noted below. For additional information, see the
direct final notice of deletion, located in the ``Rules and
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.
