ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2005-0011; FRL-9900-68-Region 4]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Koppers Co., Inc. (Florence
Plant) Superfund Site
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 announces
the deletion of the Koppers Co., Inc. (Florence Plant) Superfund Site
(Site) located in Florence, South Carolina, from the National
Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil
and
[[Page 56612]]
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the
State of South Carolina, through the South Carolina Department of
Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC), have determined that no
further response activities under CERCLA are appropriate. However, this
deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund or other
regulatory authority.
DATES: This action is effective September 13, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is:
Koppers Co., Inc. (Florence Plant) Superfund Site (Site) located in
Florence, South Carolina. A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site
was published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2013.
The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was
May 24, 2013. No public comments were received during the comment
period. Therefore, a responsiveness summary was not prepared and placed
in both the docket, EPA-HQ-SFUND-2005-0011, on www.regulations.gov, and
in the local repositories listed above.
The EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to
present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the
environment. Deletion from the NPL does not preclude further remedial
action. Whenever there is a significant release from a site deleted
from the NPL, the deleted site may be restored to the NPL without
application of the hazard ranking system. Deletion of a site from the
NPL does not affect responsible party liability in the unlikely event
that future conditions warrant further actions.
