ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-7500-7]
National Oil and Hazardous Substance, Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of Intent to Delete the Rose Park Sludge Pit Superfund
Site from the National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 is issuing
a Notice of Intent to Delete the Rose Park Sludge Pit Superfund Site
(Site) located in Salt Lake City, Utah, from the National Priorities
List (NPL) and requests public comments on this Notice. 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, the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the
State of Utah, through the Utah Department of Environmental Quality
(UDEQ), have determined that all appropriate response actions under
CERCLA, other than five-year reviews and operation & maintenance, have
been completed at the Site. However, this deletion does not preclude
future actions under Superfund if determined necessary by EPA.
In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of today's Federal
Register, EPA is publishing a Direct Final Notice of Deletion of the
Rose Park Sludge Pit Superfund Site without prior notice of intent to
delete because EPA views this as a non-controversial action. EPA has
explained its reasons for this deletion in the preamble to the Direct
Final Notice of Deletion. If EPA receives no significant adverse
comment(s) on the Direct Final Notice of Deletion, EPA will not take
further action on this Notice of Intent to Delete and deletion of the
Site will proceed. If EPA receives significant adverse comment(s), EPA
will withdraw the Direct Final Notice of Deletion and it will not take
effect. EPA will, as appropriate, address all public comments in a
subsequent final deletion notice based on this Notice of Intent to
Delete. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this Notice
of Intent to Delete. Any parties interested in commenting must do so
within the time frame noted below. For additional information, see the
Direct Final Notice of Deletion, located in the ``Rules and
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.
