40 CFR Part 300 

[FRL–7974–1] 

National Oil and Hazardous 

Substances Pollution Contingency 

Plan; National Priorities List 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Deletion of the Jones Sanitation 

Superfund Site from the National 

Priorities List. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA), Region 2 office, 

announces the deletion of the Jones 

Sanitation Superfund Site (Site), located 

in Hyde Park, New York, from the 

National Priorities List (NPL). 

The NPL is appendix B to the 

National Oil and Hazardous Substances 

Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 

CFR part 300, which EPA promulgated 

pursuant to section 105 of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended. 

EPA and the State of New York, through 

the New York State Department of 

Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), 

have determined that potentially 

responsible parties have implemented 

all appropriate response actions 

required. Moreover, EPA and NYSDEC 

have determined that with proper 

monitoring, operation and maintenance, 

this Site poses no significant threat to 

public health or the environment. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 23, 2005. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Isabel Rodrigues, Remedial Project 

Manager, Emergency and Remedial 

Response Division, U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, Region 2, 290

e-mail:Rodrigues.Isabel@EPA.GOV. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to 

be deleted from the NPL is: Jones 

Sanitation Superfund Site, Town of 

Hyde Park, Dutchess County, New York. 

A direct final deletion and a notice of 

intent to delete of the Site were 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 7, 2005 ( 70 FR 30217 and 39180 

to 39182). In these notices, EPA 

requested public comment on the 

proposed NPL deletion of the Site until 

August 8, 2005. During the 30-day 

comment period, EPA received 

correspondence offering critical 

comments. As a result of the critical 

comments, EPA published a Notice of 

Withdrawal of Direct Final Deletion of 

the Site on September 1, 2005. EPA 

evaluated the comments received and 

prepared a Responsiveness Summary 

and has concluded after a review of the 

comments that the Site does not pose a 

significant threat to public health or the 

environment. Copies of the 

Responsiveness Summary are available 

at the following repositories: U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

Superfund Records Center, 290 

Broadway, Room 1828, New York, New 

York 10007–1866, (212) 637–4308; and, 

Hyde Park Free Public Library, 2 Main 

Street, Hyde Park, NY 12538. 

EPA identifies sites that appear to 

present a significant risk to public 

health or the environment, and it 

maintains the NPL as the active list of 

these sites. As described in 40 CFR 

300.425(e)(3), any site deleted from the 

NPL remains eligible for remedial action 

in the unlikely event that conditions at 

a site warrant such action. Deletion of 

a site from the NPL does not affect the 

liability of potentially responsible 

parties nor does it impede EPA efforts 

to recover costs associated with 

response efforts.
