[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2001-0002; FRL-9920-08-Region-2]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Consolidated Iron and Metal 
Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 2, announces 
the deletion of the Consolidated Iron and Metal Superfund Site (Site) 
located in the City of Newburgh, Orange County, New York, 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 New York, through the New York State 
Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), have determined that 
all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than operation, 
maintenance, and five-year reviews, have been completed. However, this 
deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES: This action is effective on December 3, 2014.

Docket Identification No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-2001-0002. All documents in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Consolidated Iron and Metal Superfund Site, City of Newburgh, Orange 
County, New York. A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was 
published in the Federal Register FRL-9917-27-Region-2 on October 1, 
2014, (79 FR 59182).
    The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was 
October 30, 2014. No adverse public 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 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.
