ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-0001; FRL-9984-46--Region 8]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Eureka Mills Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 announces 
the deletion of the Eureka Mills Superfund Site (Site) located in 
Eureka, Utah, 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 Utah, through the Utah 
Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ), have determined that all 
appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than operation and 
maintenance and five-year reviews, have been completed. However, this 
deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES: This action is effective September 25, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Docket: EPA has established a docket for this action under 
Docket Identification No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-0001. All documents in the

Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 8, EPR-SR, 
Denver, CO 80202, (303) 312-6559, email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Eureka Mills Superfund Site, Eureka, Utah. A Notice of Intent to Delete 
for this Site was published in the Federal Register (83 FR 38672-38675) 
on August 7, 2018.
    The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was 
September 6, 2018. Two comments were received. One comment discusses 
air pollution and air monitoring in China and India. The other comment 
is about air travel. These comments are not germane to the proposed 
ruling. A responsiveness summary was prepared and placed in both the 
docket, EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-0001, on www.regulations.gov, and in the 
local repositories listed above.
    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.
