[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1987-0002; FRL-10010-08-Region 3]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the First Piedmont Rock Quarry 
(Route 719) Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region III is 
issuing a Notice of Intent to Delete the First Piedmont Rock Quarry 
(Route 719) Superfund Site (Site) located in Pittsylvania County, 
Virginia, from the National Priorities 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). 
The EPA and the Commonwealth of Virginia, through the Virginia 
Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ), have determined that all 
appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than operation and 
maintenance (O&M), monitoring, and five-year reviews, have been 
completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions 
under Superfund.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this issue of the Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final 
Notice of Deletion of the First Piedmont Rock Quarry (Route 719) 
Superfund Site without prior Notice of Intent to Delete because we view 
this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipate 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 issue 
of the Federal Register.
