ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5507-3]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the A.L. Taylor Superfund Site, Brooks, 
Kentucky from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of the A.L. Taylor Superfund Site in Brooks, Kentucky, from 
the National Priorities List (NPL) (Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 300 which 
is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
(NCP)). EPA and the Commonwealth of Kentucky have determined that all 
appropriate Fund-financed responses under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), as 
amended, have been implemented and that no further cleanup is 
appropriate. Moreover, EPA and the Commonwealth of Kentucky determined 
that response actions

[[Page 24895]]

conducted at the site to date have been protective of public health, 
welfare, and the environment. This deletion does not preclude future 
action under Superfund.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 1, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Liza Montalvo, Remedial Project 
Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, North 
Superfund Remedial Branch, 345 Courtland Street NE., Atlanta, GA 30365, 
(404) 347-7791, extension 2030.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: A.L. 
Taylor Superfund Site, Brooks, Kentucky.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published in July, 
1988. A Revised Notice of Intent to Delete was published on March 8, 
1996 (FRL-5436-8). The closing date for comments on the Revised Notice 
of Intent to Delete was April 17, 1996. EPA received no comments.
    EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to 
public health, welfare, or the environment and it maintains the NPL as 
the list of those sites. 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 in the future. Section 
300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that Fund-financed actions may be taken 
at sites deleted from the NPL. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not 
affect responsible party liability or impede agency efforts to recover 
costs associated with response efforts.
