National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;

National Priorities List Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Monroe Township Landfill Superfund

Site from the National Priorities List (NPL).

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

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

the deletion of the Monroe Township Landfill Superfund site in

Middlesex County, New Jersey from the National Priorities List (NPL).

The NPL is appendix B of 40 CFR part 300, 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 of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended.

EPA and the State of New Jersey have determined that all appropriate

Fund-financed responses under CERCLA have been implemented and that no

further cleanup by responsible parties is appropriate. Moreover, EPA

and the State of New Jersey have determined that remedial actions

conducted at the site to date remain protective of public health,

welfare, and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 3, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. John Osolin, Remedial Project

Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region II, 26 Federal

Plaza, room 747, New York, New York 10278, (212) 264-9301.

ADDRESSES: Comprehensive information on this site is available only at

the following addresses:

Monroe Township Municipal Complex, Perrinville Road Jamesburg, NJ

08831, Phone: (908) 521-4400.

Jamesburg Public Library, 229 Gatzmer Road, Jamesburg, NJ 08831,

Phone (908) 521-0440.

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

Monroe Township Landfill Site in Middlesex County, New Jersey.

A notice of itent to delete for this site was published December 2,

1993 (58 FR 63551). The closing date for comments on the notice of

intent to delete was January 3, 1994. EPA received no comments and

therefore has not prepared a Responsiveness Summary.

The 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 (Fund)-financed remedial

actions. Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that Fund-financed

actions may be taken at sites deleted from the NPL in the unlikely

event that conditions at the site warrant such action. Deletion of a

site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede

agency efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
