ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-4658-3]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Suffern Village Wellfield Site from the National Priorities List (NPL).
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II announces the deletion of the Suffern Village Wellfield Site from the NPL. The NPL is appendix B of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan (NCP), which the EPA promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended. EPA and the State of New York have determined that no further cleanup by responsible parties is appropriate under CERCLA. Moreover, EPA and the State have determined that CERCLA activities conducted at the Site to date have been protective of public health, welfare, and the environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
May 28, 1993.
ADDRESSES:

Mr. Richard Kaplan
Remedial Project Manager
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region II

New York, New York 10278
(212) 264-3819
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Site to be deleted from the NPL is:
Suffern Village Wellfield Site, Suffern, New York.
The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete (57 FR 44545, 09/28/92) was October 30, 1992. EPA did not receive any comments on the proposed deletion.
Based upon a review of monitoring and other data for the Site, EPA in consultation with the State of New York has determined that the Site does not pose a significant risk to human health or the environment. Furthermore, the granular activated carbon adsorption unit and the manganese filtration unit which the Village of Suffern installed in its existing water treatment system in 1990, has reduced levels of contamination in the treated water entering the public water supply distribution system to below State drinking water limits. The Site shall continue to be monitored by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) in accordance with the Long-Term Monitoring Plan dated October 9, 1991 with which EPA concurs.
Future reviews of monitoring data will be conducted in conjunction with NYSDEC, at a minimum of every five years, or until such time when no hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants remain at the Site above levels that allow for unrestricted use and unlimited exposure.
EPA identifies sites which appear to present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment, and it maintains the NPL as the list of those sites. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of Fund-financed remedial actions. Any site deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed remedial actions in the unlikely event that conditions at the site warrant such action. Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that Fund-financed actions may be taken at sites deleted from the NPL. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede EPA efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
