SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency Region 4 announces the 

deletion of the New Hanover County 

Airport Burn Pit Superfund Site (Site)

from the National Priorities List (NPL). 

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). EPA and the 

State of North Carolina, through the 

North Carolina Department of 

Environment and Natural Resources 

(DENR), have determined that all 

appropriate response actions under 

CERCLA have been completed. 

However, this deletion does not 

preclude future actions under 

Superfund. 

DATES: This action is effective 

September 20, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket 

Identification No. EPA–HQ–SFUND– 

1989–0008. All documents in the docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to 

be deleted from the NPL is: New 

Hanover County Airport Burn Pit 

Superfund Site located in Wilmington, 

North Carolina. A Notice of Intent To 

Delete was published in the Federal 

Register on June 22, 2012. 

The closing date for comments on the 

Notice of Intent to Delete was July 22, 

2012. No public comments were 

received during the comment period. 

Therefore, a responsiveness summary 

was not prepared and placed in the 

docket, EPA–R04–SFUND–2012–0091, 

on www.regulations.gov, or in the 

repositories listed above. 

EPA maintains the NPL as the list of 

sites that appear to present a significant 

risk to public health, welfare, or the 

environment. Deletion from the NPL 

does not preclude further remedial 

action. Whenever there is a significant 

release from a site deleted from the NPL, 

the deleted site may be restored to the 

NPL without application of the hazard 

ranking system. Deletion of a site from 

the NPL does not affect responsible 

party liability in the unlikely event that 

future conditions warrant further 

actions.
