CFR Citation: 40 CFR Part 300

EPA ID: [EPA-HQ-SFUND-1986-0008, Notice 3; FRL-8706-1]

NOTICE: RULES

ACTION: Approval and Promulgation of Revised Municipal Waste Combustor State Plan for Designated Facilities and Pollutants:

DOCUMENT ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Double Eagle Refinery Co. Superfund Site From the National Priorities List.

SUBJECT CATEGORY: National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan National Priorities List

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

DOCUMENT SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 announces the deletion of the Double Eagle Refinery Co. 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 fiveyear reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.

SUMMARY: National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List,

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

The site to be deleted from the NPL is: Double
[[Page 49354]]
Eagle Refinery Co., 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 nonEPA 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, EPAHQSFUND19860008, Notice 3, 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.
