National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List: Partial Deletion of the Escambia Wood-Pensacola Superfund Site, 49953-49954 [2019-20347]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 24, 2019 / Rules and Regulations appropriate response actions for groundwater set forth in the 2010 amendment to the 1990 Record of Decision, which selected the remedy for contaminated groundwater at the Site. Confirmation sampling indicates that all contaminants of concern are below state and federal drinking water standards. Since there is no ongoing source of contamination at the Site, EPA is confident that the groundwater at the Site will continue to meet State and Federal drinking water standards in the future. EPA prepared a responsiveness summary and placed it in both the docket at www.regulations.gov (EPA– HQ–SFUND–1986–0005) and in the repository listed above. EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not preclude further remedial action. Whenever there is a significant release from a site deleted from the NPL, the deleted site may be restored to the NPL without application of the hazard ranking system. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability, in the unlikely event that future conditions warrant further actions.
