ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-7614-5]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of deletion of the River Road Landfill Site from the
National Priorities List (NPL).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region III announces
the deletion of the River Road Landfill Site (Site) in Hermitage,
Pennsylvania, from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL
constitutes appendix B of 40 CFR part 300, which is the National Oil
and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), which EPA
promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 as amended, (CERCLA).
EPA and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, through the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), have determined that
the remedial action for the Site has been successfully implemented
under CERCLA. For this Site, the selected remedy is protective of human
health and the environment as long as deed restrictions and continued
operation and maintenance of the Existing Treatment Scheme described in
EPA's 1995 Record of Decision currently being implemented in accordance
with the attached PADEP Post-Closure Plan (or modification as required
and/or approved by PADEP or EPA), are continued.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 29, 2004.
ADDRESSES: Comprehensive information on this Site is available through
the public docket which is available for viewing at the Site
information repositories at the following locations: U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Region III, Administrative Records, 1650 Arch
Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. Telephone (215) 814-3157; and
Buhl-Henderson Community Library, 11 North Sharpsville Avenue, Sharon,
PA 16146.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donna Santiago (3HS22), U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street,
Philadelphia, PA 19103. Telephone 215-814-3222.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is:
River Road Landfill Site.
EPA published a Notice of Intent to Delete (NOID) the River Road
Landfill Site from the NPL on September 26, 2003, in the Federal
Register (65 FR 45013). The closing date for comments on the NOID was
October 28, 2003. EPA did not receive any comments on the proposed
deletion. Therefore, no responsiveness summary is necessary for
attachment to this Notice of Deletion.
EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to
public health, welfare, or the environment and it maintains the NPL as
the list of these sites. As described in Sec. 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP,
sites deleted from the NPL remain eligible for remedial actions in the
unlikely event that future conditions at the site warrant such action.
Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party
liability or impede EPA efforts to recover costs associated with
response efforts.
