40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1987-0002; FRL-9987-15-Region 5]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Tomah Armory Landfill 
Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; notification of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 is issuing 
a Notice of Intent to Delete the Tomah Armory Landfill Superfund Site 
(Tomah Armory Site), located in Tomah, Wisconsin, from the National 
Priorities

[[Page 63147]]

List (NPL) and requests public comments on this proposed action. 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 
Wisconsin, through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources 
(WDNR), have determined that all appropriate response actions under 
CERCLA, other than operation and maintenance, monitoring and five-year 
reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude 
future actions under Superfund.

DATES: Comments must be received by January 7, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID no. EPA-HQ-
SFUND-1987-0002, by mail to Randolph Cano, NPL Deletion Coordinator, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 (SR-6J), 77 West Jackson 
Boulevard, Chicago, IL 60604. Comments may also be submitted 
electronically or through hand delivery/courier by following the 
detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule 
located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal 
Register.

Coordinator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 (SR-6J), 77

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of 
Deletion of the Tomah Armory Superfund Site without prior Notice of 
Intent to Delete because EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision 
and anticipates no adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for 
this deletion in the preamble to the direct final Notice of Deletion, 
and those reasons are incorporated herein. If we receive no adverse 
comment(s) on this deletion action, we will not take further action on 
this Notice of Intent to Delete. If we receive adverse comment(s), we 
will withdraw the direct final Notice of Deletion, and it will not take 
effect. We will, as appropriate, address all public comments in a 
subsequent final Notice of Deletion based on this Notice of Intent to 
Delete. We will not institute a second comment period on this Notice of 
Intent to Delete. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at 
this time.
    For additional information, see the direct final Notice of Deletion 
which is located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this 
Federal Register.
