National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Jacksonville Municipal Landfill Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 announces the deletion of the Jacksonville Municipal Landfill Superfund Site (``the Site'') 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 the 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 Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), have determined that the remedial action for the Site has been successfully completed and that no further action is warranted.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 14, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Kathleen Aisling, Remedial Project Manager, U.S. EPA (6SF-LT), 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733, (214) 665-8509 or 1-800-533-3508, aisling.kathleen@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: Jacksonville Municipal Landfill Site, Jacksonville, Arkansas.

A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published in the Federal Register on November 9, 1999 (60 FR 15737). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was January 9, 2000. EPA received no comments.

The EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment and maintains the NPL as the list of those sites. Any site deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed remedial actions in the unlikely event that conditions at the site warrant such action. Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that Fund-financed remedial actions may be taken at sites deleted from the NPL. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
