ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-7003-5]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region VIII proposes
to delete the residential soil portions of the Jacobs Smelter Superfund
Site, Utah, known as Operable Unit One (OU1), from the National
Priorities List and requests public comment on this action. The NPL
constitutes Appendix B to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances
Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR Part 300, which EPA
promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). This action is
being taken because EPA, with concurrence from the Utah Department of
Environmental Quality (UDEQ), has determined that all appropriate
response actions have been taken and that no further response at OU1 is
appropriate.
A detailed rationale for this Proposal to Delete is set forth in
the direct final rule which can be found in the Rules and Regulations
section of this Federal Register. The direct final rule is being
published because EPA views this deletion action as a noncontroversial
revision and anticipates no significant adverse or critical comments.
If no significant adverse or critical comments are received, no further
activity is contemplated. If EPA receives significant adverse or
critical comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all
public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment
period. Any parties interested in commenting should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments concerning this action must be received by EPA on or
before August 6, 2001.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to: Mr. Jim Christiansen, Remedial
Project Manager, U.S. EPA Region VIII, EPR-SR, 999 18th Street, Suite
