40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5403-5]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Anderson Development Company 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of the Anderson Development Company site in Michigan from the 
National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is Appendix B of 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. 
EPA and the State of Michigan have determined that all appropriate 
Fund-financed responses under CERCLA have been implemented and that no 
further response by responsible parties is appropriate. Moreover, EPA 
and the State of Michigan have determined that remedial actions 
conducted at the site to date remain protective of public health, 
welfare, and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 26, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is the 
Anderson Development Company Site located in Adrian, Michigan. A Notice 
of Intent to Delete was published August 30, 1995 (60 FR 13944) for 
this site. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to 
Delete was September 29, 1995. EPA received no comments and therefore a 
Responsiveness Summary was not 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 


[[Page 2452]]
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.
