[FRL-5533-1]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan; National 
Priorities List Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Carter Lee Lumber Company Superfund 
Site from the National Priorities List (NPL).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of the Carter Lee Lumber Company Site in Indiana from the 
National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 
300 which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan 
(NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. This action is being taken by EPA and the 
State of Indiana, because it has been determined that Responsible 
Parties have implemented all appropriate response actions required. 
Moreover, EPA and the State of Indiana have determined that remedial 
actions conducted at the site to date remain protective of public 
health, welfare, and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 9, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is 
Carter Lee Lumber Company Site located in Indianapolis, Indiana. A 
Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published May 8, 1996 (61 
FR 20785). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to 
Delete was June 7, 1996. EPA received no comments and therefore no 
Responsiveness Summary was prepared.
    The EPA identifies sites which appear to present a significant risk 
to public health, welfare, or the environment and it maintains the NPL 
as the list of those sites. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of 
Hazardous Substance Response Trust Fund (Fund-) financed remedial 
actions. Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that Fund-financed 
actions may be taken at sites deleted from the NPL in the unlikely 
event that conditions at the site warrant such action. Deletion of a 
site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede 
agency efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
