[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1983-0002; FRL-9999-31-Region 9]

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 announces the deletion of the MGM Brakes Superfund Site (Site) located in Cloverdale, Sonoma County, California, from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the State of California, through the Department of Toxic Substances Control, have determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES:

This action is effective September 16, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The site to be deleted from the NPL is: MGM Brakes Superfund Site, Cloverdale, Sonoma County, California. A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published in the Federal Register (84 FR 28259) on June 18, 2019.

The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was July 18, 2019. No public comments were received, and EPA still believes that this deletion action is appropriate. ( printed page 48566)

EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment. Deletion 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.
