ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-6015-6]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan; National 
Priorities List Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the National Lead Industries/Taracorp/
Golden Auto Parts Superfund site from the National Priorities List 
(NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of the National Lead Industries/Taracorp/Golden Auto Parts 
Site in Minnesota from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is 
Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 which is the National Oil and Hazardous 
Substances Contingency Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to 
section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, 
and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended. This action is being 
taken by EPA and the State of Minnesota, because it has been determined 
that Responsible Parties have implemented all appropriate response 
actions required. Moreover, EPA and the State of Minnesota have 
determined that remedial actions conducted at the site to date remain 
protective of public health, welfare, and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 21, 1998.

Region V, 77 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604. Information on the 
site is available at the local information repository located at: St.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
National Lead Industries/Taracorp/Golden Auto Parts Site located in St. 
Louis Park, Minnesota. A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was 
published April 3, 1998 (63 FR 16465). The closing date for comments on 
the Notice of Intent to Delete was May 4, 1998. EPA received no 
comments and therefore no Responsiveness Summary was prepared.
    The EPA identifies sites which appear to present a significant risk 
to public health, welfare, or the environment and it maintains the NPL 
as the list of those sites. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of 
Hazardous Substance Response Trust Fund (Fund-) financed remedial 
actions. Any site deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-
financed remedial actions in the unlikely event that conditions at the 
site warrant such action. Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that 
Fund-financed actions may be taken at sites deleted from the NPL in the 
unlikely event that conditions at the site warrant such action. 
Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party 
liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs associated with 
response efforts.
