ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5406-7]

40 CFR Part 300


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Ossineke Groundwater Contamination 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List (NPL).

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of the Ossineke Groundwater Contamination site in Michigan 
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. 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 under CERCLA is appropriate. The site is being 
addressed under the Subtitle I provisions of RCRA.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 31, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rita Garner-Davis at (312) 886-2440, 
Associate Remedial Project Manager, Office of Superfund, U.S. EPA--
Region V, 77 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604. Information on the 
site is available at: EPA Region V docket room at the above address and 
at the Alpenda Bank; 11686 U.S. Highway 23 south; Ossineke, MI 49766.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is the 
Ossineke Groundwater Contamination Site in Ossineke, Michigan. A Notice 
of Intent to Delete was published August 11, 1995 (60 FR 41051) for 
this site. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to 
Delete was September 11, 1995. EPA received no comments.
    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.
