National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;

National Priorities List Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Bioclinical Laboratories site from

the National Priorities List.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II announces

the deletion of the Bioclinical Laboratories (BCL) site from the

National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is appendix B of 40 CFR part

300 which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution

Contingency Plan (NCP), which 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 action is appropriate at the BCL site under

CERCLA. Moreover, EPA and the State of New York have determined that

activities conducted at the BCL site to date have been protective of

public health, welfare, and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 11, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Damian J. Duda, Remedial Project

Manager, Emergency and Remedial Response Division, U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, Region II, room 29-100, 26 Federal Plaza, New York,

New York 10278; telephone 212-264-9589.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is the

Bioclinical Laboratories site, Suffolk County, New York. A notice of

intent to delete for this site was published in the Federal Register

(59 FR 23819) on May 9, 1994. The closing date for comments on the

notice of intent to delete was June 7, 1994. EPA did not receive any

comments on the proposed deletion.

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

Hazardous Substance Response Trust 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 the 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 actions.
