ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1989-0008, Notice 4; FRL-8706-2]


National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan 
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Fourth Street Abandoned Refinery 
Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 announces 
the deletion of the Fourth Street Abandoned Refinery Superfund Site 
(Site) located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, from the National Priorities 
List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act 
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is found at Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 
which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution 
Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the State of Oklahoma, through the 
Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, have determined that all 
appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than operation, 
maintenance, and five-year reviews, have been completed. However, this 
deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES: Effective Date: This action is effective August 21, 2008.

Identification No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-1989-0008, Notice 4. All documents in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Fourth Street Abandoned Refinery, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A Notice of 
Intent to Delete for this Site was published in the Federal Register on 
June 13, 2008.
    The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was 
July 14, 2008. One public comment was received. The commenter 
questioned the completeness of the response action based on information 
found in non-EPA Internet Web sites. EPA believes the deletion is 
appropriate, since the response action has been implemented, as 
documented in the Deletion Docket. A responsiveness summary was 
prepared and placed in the docket, EPA-HQ-SFUND-1989-0008, Notice 4, on 
http://www.regulations.gov, and in the local repositories listed above.
    EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to present a 
significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment. 
Deletion 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 a site from the NPL does not 
affect responsible party liability in the unlikely event that future 
conditions warrant further actions.
