[FRL-6440-8]

 
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Hebelka Auto Salvage Yard site from 
the National Priorities List.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region III announces 
the deletion of the Hebelka Auto Salvage Yard Site (Site) from the 
National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL constitutes appendix B of 40 
CFR part 300 which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances 
Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to 
section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation 
and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended. EPA and the Pennsylvania 
Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) have determined that all 
appropriate CERCLA response actions have been implemented and that no 
further cleanup by responsible parties is appropriate. Moreover, EPA 
and PADEP have determined that remedial activities conducted at the 
Site to date have been

protective of public health, welfare and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 20, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Comprehensive information on this release is available for 
viewing at the Site information repositories at the following 
locations: U.S. EPA, Region 3, Regional Center for Environmental 
Information, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103, (215) 814-5364.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Deanna Moultrie (3HS21), U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 3, 1650 Arch Street, 
Philadelphia, PA, 19103, (215) 814-5125.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The release to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Hebelka Auto Salvage Yard Site, Weisenberg Township, Pennsylvania
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published June 24, 
1999 (64 FR 33812). The closing date for comments on the Notice of 
Intent to Delete was July 26, 1999. EPA received no comments.
    The EPA identifies releases which appear to present a significant 
risk to public health, welfare, or the environment and it maintains the 
NPL as the list of those releases. Releases on the NPL may be the 
subject of remedial actions financed by the Hazardous Substance 
Superfund Response Trust Fund (Fund). Pursuant to Sec. 300.66(c)(8) of 
the NCP, any release deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-
financed remedial actions in the unlikely event that conditions at the 
Site warrant such action.
    Deletion of a release from the NPL does not affect responsible 
party liability or impede agency efforts to recover costs associated 
with response efforts.
