SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Table of Contents 

I. Introduction 

II. NPL Deletion Criteria 

III. Deletion Procedures 

IV. Basis for Intended Partial Site Deletion 

I. Introduction 

EPA is issuing a Notice of Intent to 

delete five sites and partially delete six 

sites from the National Priorities List 

(NPL) and requests public comments on 

this proposed action. The NPL 

constitutes appendix B of 40 CFR part 

300 which is the NCP, which EPA 

created under section 105 of the 

CERCLA statute of 1980, as amended. 

EPA maintains the NPL as those sites 

that appear to present a significant risk 

to public health, welfare, or the 

environment. Sites on the NPL may be 

the subject of remedial actions financed 

by the Hazardous Substance Superfund 

(Fund). These partial deletions are 

proposed in accordance with 40 CFR 

300.425(e) and is consistent with the 

‘‘Notice of Policy Change: Partial 

Deletion of Sites Listed on the National 

Priorities List.’’ 60 FR 55466, (November 

1, 1995). As described in 40 CFR 

300.425(e)(3) of the NCP, a site or 

portion of a site deleted from the NPL 

remains eligible for Fund-financed 

remedial action if future conditions 

warrant such actions. 

EPA will accept comments on the 

proposal to delete or partially delete 

these sites for thirty (30) days after 

publication of this document in the 

Federal Register. 

Section II of this document explains 

the criteria for deleting sites from the 

NPL. Section III of this document 

discusses procedures that EPA is using 

for this action. Section IV of this 

document discusses the site or portion 

of the site proposed for deletion and 

demonstrates how it meets the deletion 

criteria, including reference documents 

with the rationale and data principally 

relied upon by the EPA to determine 

that the Superfund response is 

complete.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 55 / Tuesday, March 22, 2022 / Proposed Rules 16137 

II. NPL Deletion Criteria 

The NCP establishes the criteria that 

EPA uses to delete sites from the NPL. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 300.425(e), 

sites may be deleted from the NPL 

where no further response is 

appropriate. In making such a 

determination pursuant to 40 CFR 

300.425(e), EPA will consider, in 

consultation with the State, whether any 

of the following criteria have been met: 

i. Responsible parties or other persons 

have implemented all appropriate 

response actions required; 

ii. All appropriate Fund-financed 

response under CERCLA has been 

implemented, and no further response 

action by responsible parties is 

appropriate; or 

iii. The remedial investigation has 

shown that the release poses no 

significant threat to public health or the 

environment and, therefore, the taking 

of remedial measures is not appropriate. 

Pursuant to CERCLA section 121(c) 

and the NCP, EPA conducts five-year 

reviews to ensure the continued 

protectiveness of remedial actions 

where hazardous substances, pollutants, 

or contaminants remain at a site above 

levels that allow for unlimited use and 

unrestricted exposure. EPA conducts 

such five-year reviews even if a site is 

deleted from the NPL. EPA may initiate 

further action to ensure continued 

protectiveness at a deleted site if new 

information becomes available that 

indicates it is appropriate. 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. 

III. Deletion Procedures 

The following procedures apply to the 

deletion or partial deletion of the sites 

in this proposed rule: 

(1) EPA consulted with the respective 

state before developing this Notice of 

Intent for deletion. 

(2) EPA has provided the state 30 

working days for review of site deletion 

documents prior to publication of this 

Notice of Intent to Delete in the Federal 

Register. 

(3) In accordance with the criteria 

discussed above, EPA has determined 

that no further response is appropriate. 

(4) The state, through their designated 

state agency, has concurred with the 

proposed deletion action. 

(5) Concurrently, with the publication 

of this Notice of Intent for deletion in 

the Federal Register, a notice is being 

published in a major local newspaper of 

general circulation near the site. The 

newspaper announces the 30-day public 

comment period concerning the Notice 

of Intent for deletion. 

(6) The EPA placed copies of 

documents supporting the proposed 

deletion in the deletion docket, made 

these items available for public 

inspection, and copying at the Regional 

Records Center identified above. 

If comments are received within the 

30-day comment period on this 

document, EPA will evaluate and 

respond accordingly to the comments 

before making a final decision to delete 

or partially delete the site. If necessary, 

EPA will prepare a Responsiveness 

Summary to address any significant 

public comments received. After the 

public comment period, if EPA 

determines it is still appropriate to 

delete or partially delete the site, the 

EPA will publish a final Notice of 

Deletion or Partial Deletion in the 

Federal Register. Public notices, public 

submissions and copies of the 

Responsiveness Summary, if prepared, 

will be made available to interested 

parties and included in the site 

information repositories listed above. 

Deletion of a site or a portion of a site 

from the NPL does not itself create, 

alter, or revoke any individual’s rights 

or obligations. Deletion of a site or a 

portion of a site from the NPL does not 

in any way alter EPA’s right to take 

enforcement actions, as appropriate. 

The NPL is designed primarily for 

informational purposes and to assist 

EPA management. Section 300.425(e)(3) 

of the NCP states that the deletion of a 

site from the NPL does not preclude 

eligibility for future response actions, 

should future conditions warrant such 

actions. 

IV. Basis for Full Site or Partial Site 

Deletion 

The site to be deleted or partially 

deleted from the NPL, the location of 

the site, and docket number with 

information including reference 

documents with the rationale and data 

principally relied upon by the EPA to 

determine that the Superfund response 

is complete are specified in Table 1. The 

NCP permits activities to occur at a 

deleted site or that media or parcel of a 

partially deleted site, including 

operation and maintenance of the 

remedy, monitoring, and five-year 

reviews. These activities for the site are 

entered in Table 1, if applicable, under 

Footnote such that; 1= site has 

continued operation and maintenance of 

the remedy, 2= site receives continued 

monitoring, and 3= site five-year 

reviews are conducted.

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.
