ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2005-0002; FRL-9931-47-Region 2]
National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Crown Vantage Landfill
Superfund Site
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 announces
the deletion of the Crown Vantage Landfill Superfund Site (Site),
located in Alexandria Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, 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).
EPA and the State of New Jersey, through the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection, have determined that all appropriate response
actions under CERCLA, other than long-term maintenance and five-year
reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude
future actions under Superfund.
DATES: This action is effective August 28, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Docket: EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket Identification No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-2005-0002. All documents in the
docket are listed in the http://www.regulations.gov index. Although

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is:
Crown Vantage Landfill Superfund Site, Alexandria Township, New Jersey.
A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published in the Federal
Register (80 FR 23757) on April 29, 2015. The closing date for comments
on the Notice of Intent to Delete was May 29, 2015. No comments were
received and therefore no response to comments was required. The
deletion action is appropriate.
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 hazards ranking system. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not
affect the responsible party liability in the unlikely event that
future conditions warrant further actions.
