National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List

Mon, Aug 9 2004 11:00:00 GMT

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 is publishing a Direct Final Notice of Deletion of the Sharon Steel Superfund Site (Site), located in Midvale, Utah, 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 Appendix B to 40 CFR part 300, the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). This direct final deletion is being published by EPA with the concurrence of the State of Utah, through the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ), based on EPA's determination that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than fiveyear reviews and operation & maintenance, have been completed at the Site and, therefore, further remedial action pursuant to CERCLA is not appropriate.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Virginia; Revised Major Stationary Source Applicability

Mon, Aug 9 2004 11:00:00 GMT

EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Virginia specifying that the Northern Virginia Ozone Nonattainment Area is now subject to the severe major source permitting requirements and lowering the major stationary source threshold for nitrogen oxide (NOX) from 50 tons per year to 25 tons per year. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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
