[EPA–HQ–SFUND–1987–0002; FRL–8784–3] 

National Oil and Hazardous 

Substances Pollution Contingency 

Plan; National Priorities List 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice of Partial Deletion of the 

Griffiss Air Force Base Superfund Site 

from the National Priorities List. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Region 2 announces the 

deletion of approximately 2,900 acres of 

property (identified in more detail 

below) of the Griffiss Air Force Base 

Superfund Site (Site) located in Rome, 

New York, from the National Priorities 

List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated 

pursuant to section 105 of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA), is 

an appendix of the National Oil and 

Hazardous Substances Pollution 

Contingency Plan (NCP). This partial 

deletion pertains to the soil and 

groundwater of 23 parcels at the Site. 

All other properties at Griffiss Air Force 

Base (GAFB) will remain on the NPL 

and are not being considered for 

deletion as part of this action. The EPA 

and the State of New York, through the 

New York State Department of 

Environmental Conservation, have 

determined that, with regard to the 

specified properties at the GAFB Site 

(i.e., the soil and groundwater beneath), 

either no significant threat to public 

health or the environment exists or all 

appropriate response actions, other than 

operation, maintenance, and five-year 

reviews, have been implemented such 

that they no longer pose a significant 

threat to public health or the 

environment. 

DATES: Effective Date: This action is 

effective March 20, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket 

Identification No. EPA–HQ–SFUND–

These properties were identified in 

the Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion 

for this Site published in the Federal 

Register on December 19, 2008. 

Additional information can also be 

found on the Air Force’s Web site at 

http://www.griffiss.com. In the Notice of 

Intent for Partial Deletion, EPA 

requested public comment on the 

proposed NPL partial deletion by 

January 20, 2009. No public comments 

were received and therefore EPA has no 

information which leads it to believe 

that the partial deletion action is 

inappropriate. 

EPA maintains the NPL as the list of 

sites that appear to present a significant 

risk to public health, welfare, or the 

environment. Deletion of a site 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 portions of 

a site from the NPL does not affect 

responsible party liability, in the 

unlikely event that future conditions 

warrant further actions.
