# SUMMARY:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 is issuing a Notice of Intent to Delete the A & F Material Reclaiming, Inc. Superfund Site (Site) located in Greenup, Illinois from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this proposed action. 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 Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP).
