Federal Register Notice

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-5642-7]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of Deletion of the Seldon Clark Property from the
General Electric/Shepherd Farm Superfund Site, East Flat Rock,
Henderson County, North Carolina from the National Priorities List.
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 announces the deletion of the Seldon Clark Property portion of the General Electric/Shepherd Farm Superfund Site from the National Priorities List (NPL), [Appendix B of 40 CFR Part 300 which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP)]. EPA and the State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources have determined that the Seldon Clark Property poses no significant threat to public health or the environment and, therefore, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) remedial measures are not appropriate. This deletion does not preclude future action under Superfund.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
November 1, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Site affected by this partial deletion from the NPL is: General Electric/Shepherd Farm Superfund Site in Henderson County, North Carolina.
A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published on September 3, 1996 at 61 FR 46418 (FRL-5557-7). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was October 3, 1996. EPA received no comments.
EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to the public health, welfare and the environment and it maintains the NPL as the list of those sites. Any site or portion thereof deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed remedial actions in the future. 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 agency efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
