ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-7933-9]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Jones Sanitation Superfund Site
from the National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 office is
issuing this notice of intent to delete the Jones Sanitation Superfund
Site (Site), located in Hyde Park, New York from the National
Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comment on this action. The
NPL is Appendix B of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances
Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR part 300, which EPA
promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended.
The EPA and the State of New York, through the Department of
Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), have determined that potentially
responsible parties have implemented all appropriate response actions.
Moreover, EPA and NYSDEC have determined that the Site poses no
significant threat to public health or the environment. In the ``Rules
and Regulations'' Section of today's Federal Register, we are
publishing a direct final notice of deletion for the Jones Sanitation
Superfund Site without prior notice of this action because we view this
as a noncontroversial revision and anticipate no significant adverse
comment. We have explained our reasons for this action in the preamble
to the direct final deletion. If we receive no significant adverse
comment(s) on this notice of intent to delete or the direct final
notice of deletion or other notices we may issue, we will not take
further action on this notice of intent to delete. If we receive
significant adverse comment(s), we will withdraw the direct final
notice of deletion and it will not take effect. We will, as
appropriate, address all public comments. If, after evaluating public
comments, EPA decides to proceed with deletion, we will do so in a
subsequent final deletion notice based on this notice of intent to
delete. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
For additional information, see the direct final notice of deletion
which is located in the Rules section of this Federal Register.
DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by August 8,
2005.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Isabel Rodrigues,
Remedial Project Manager, Emergency and Remedial Response Division,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2, 290 Broadway, 20th
Floor, New York, New York 10007-1866.
