ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-7945-8]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the North Sea Municipal Landfill
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 is issuing
this notice of intent to delete the North Sea Municipal Landfill
Superfund Site (Site), located in Southampton, 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 New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation, have determined that responsible parties have implemented
all appropriate response actions required. In the ``Rules and
Regulations'' Section of today's Federal Register, we are publishing a
direct final deletion of the North Sea Municipal Landfill 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 deletion 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, 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. We will not institute a
second comment period 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.
