ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5941-6]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of deletion for North Hollywood dump superfund site, 
Shelby County, Tennessee, from the national priorities list.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 announces 
the deletion of the North Hollywood Dump Superfund Site from the 
National Priorities List (NPL), Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 which is 
the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
(NCP). EPA and the State have determined that all appropriate Fund-
financed responses under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended, have been 
implemented and that no further cleanup is appropriate. Moveover, EPA 
and the State have determined that remedial actions conducted at the 
site to date have been protective of public health, welfare and the 
environment. This deletion does not preclude future action under 
Superfund.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 31, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Morris, Site Manager, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, North Site Management 
Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, S.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30303, (404) 562-
8794.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
North Hollywood Superfund Site in Shelby County, Tennessee.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published on October 
10, 1997, (62 FR 52961). The closing date for comments on the Notice of 
Intent to Delete was November 10, 1997. EPA received no comments.
    EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to 
the public health, welfare and the environment and it maintains the NPL 
as the list of those sites. Any site deleted from the NPL remains 
eligible for Fund-financed remedial actions in the future. Section 
300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that Fund-financed 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.
