Approval and Promulgation of State

Plans for Designated Facilities and

Pollutants; Missouri; Control of

Landfill Gas Emissions From Existing

Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve

the Missouri state 111(d) plan for

controlling landfill gas emissions from

existing municipal solid waste (MSW)

landfills. The plan was submitted to

fulfill the requirements of the Clean Air

Act. The state plan establishes emission

limits for existing MSW landfills, and

provides for the implementation and

enforcement of those limits.

In the final rules section of the

Federal Register, the EPA is approving

the state’s submittal as a direct final rule

without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial

action and anticipates no relevant

adverse comments. A detailed rationale

for the approval is set forth in the direct

final rule. If no relevant adverse

comments are received in response to

this proposed rule, no further activity is

contemplated and the direct final rule

will become effective. If the EPA

receives relevant adverse comments, the

direct final rule will be withdrawn and

all public comments received will be

addressed in a subsequent final rule

based on this proposed rule. The EPA

will not institute a second comment

period on this document. Any parties

interested in commenting on this

document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

must be received in writing by May 26,

1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

Wayne Kaiser, Environmental

Protection Agency, Air Planning and

Development Branch, 726 Minnesota

National Oil and Hazardous

Substances Pollution Contingency

Plan; National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete Beulah

Landfill Site from the National Priorities

List: request for comments.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) announces its intent to

delete the Beulah Landfill Site from the

National Priorities List (NPL) and

requests public comment on this

proposed action. The NPL constitutes

Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 300 which

Substances Pollution Contingency Plan

(NCP), which EPA promulgated

pursuant to Section 105 of the

Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended.

EPA and the Florida Department of

Environmental Protection (FDEP) have

determined that the Site poses no

significant threat to public health or the

environment and therefore, further

response measures pursuant to CERCLA

are not appropriate.

DATES: Comments may be submitted on

or before May 26, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed

to: Richard D. Green, Director, Waste

Management Division, U.S.

I. Introduction.

II. NPL Deletion Criteria.

III. Deletion Procedures.

IV. Basis for Intended Site Deletion.

I. Introduction

EPA announces its intent to delete the

Beulah Landfill Site, Escambia County,

Pensacola, Florida, from the NPL, which

constitutes Appendix B of the NCP, 40

CFR Part 300, and requests comments

on this deletion. EPA identifies sites on

the NPL 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 Trust Fund (Fund). Pursuant

to § 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP, any site

deleted from the NPL remains eligible

for Fund-financed remedial actions if

conditions at the site warrant such

action.

EPA will accept comments

concerning this Site for thirty days after

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register.

Section II of this notice explains the

criteria for deleting sites from the NPL.

Section III discusses procedures that

EPA is using for this action. Section IV

discusses how this Site meets the

deletion criteria.

II. NPL Deletion Criteria

The NCP establishes the criteria that

the Agency uses to delete sites from the

NPL. In accordance with 40 CFR

300.425(e), sites may be deleted from or

recategorized on the NPL where no

further response is appropriate. In

making this determination, EPA shall

consider, in consultation with the state,

whether any of the following criteria

have been met:

1. Responsible parties or other

persons have implemented all

appropriate response actions required;

2. All appropriate Fund-financed

response under CERCLA has been

implemented, and no further response

action by responsible parties is

appropriate; or

3. The remedial investigation has

shown that the release poses no

significant threat to public health or the

environment and, therefore, taking of

remedial measures is not appropriate.

If a site is deleted from the NPL where

hazardous substances, pollutants, or

contaminants remain at the site above

levels that allow for unlimited use and

unrestricted exposure, EPA’s policy is

that a subsequent review of the site will

be conducted at least every five years

after the initiation of the remedial action

at the site to ensure that the site remains

protective of public health and the

environment. If new information

becomes available which indicates a

need for further action, EPA may initiate

remedial actions. Whenever there is a

significant release from a site deleted

from the NPL, the site may be restored

to the NPL without the application of

the Hazardous Ranking System.

III. Deletion Procedures

EPA will accept and evaluate public

comments before making a final

decision on deletion from the NPL.

Comments from the local community

may be the most pertinent to deletion

decisions. The following procedures

were used for the intended deletion of

the Site:

1. EPA has recommended deletion

and has prepared the relevant

documents;

2. FDEP has concurred with the

deletion decision;

3. Concurrently with this Notice of

Intent to Delete, notices have been

published in local newspapers and have
