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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of Anaconda Aluminum/Milgo Electronics Site from the National Priorities List.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 announces the deletion of the Anaconda Aluminum/Milgo Electronics Corporation Site in Miami, Florida, from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is codified as 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. EPA and the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) have determined that the Site poses no significant threat to public health or the environment and therefore, no further response pursuant to CERCLA is appropriate.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 9, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comprehensive information on this Site is available at two information repositories located at: North Central Library, 10750 SW 211th Street, Miami, Florida 33189, (305) 693-4541 and U.S EPA Record Center, 61 Forsyth Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, (404) 562-8881.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim McGuire, South Site Management Branch, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 61 Forsyth Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, (404)562-8911.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Anaconda Aluminum/Milgo Electronics Corporation Site in Miami, Florida, is being deleted from the NPL.

A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published on March 23, 1998 (63 FR 13816). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was April 22, 1998. EPA received no comments and therefore did not prepare a Responsiveness Summary.

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 subject of Hazardous Substance Response Trust Fund (Fund-) financed remedial actions. 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 301.425(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.
