National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II Office announces its intent to delete the White Bridge Road property of the Asbestos Dump Superfund Site, Operable Unit (OU) 2, from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comment on this action. The Asbestos Dump site is listed in the NPL as being located in Millington, NJ; however, the portion of the site which is the subject of this proposal for partial delisting, the White Bridge Road property, is located in Long Hill Township, NJ. The NPL constitutes Appendix B to the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR part 300, which EPA promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended. EPA and the State of New Jersey, through the Department of Environmental Protection, have determined that all appropriate remedial actions have been completed at the White Bridge Road parcel and no further fund-financed remedial action is appropriate under CERCLA. In addition, EPA and the State of New Jersey have determined that all remedial actions taken to date at the White Bridge Road property are protective of public health and the environment. This partial deletion pertains only to the White Bridge Road property of OU 2 of the Asbestos Dump Site. The other properties which comprise the site are the Millington property (OU1), the New Vernon Road property (OU2) and the Deitzman Tract (OU3). All properties comprising the site, other than the White Bridge Road property, will remain on the NPL. No further response actions, other than Operation and Maintenance and enforcement, are planned for any of the properties comprising the Asbestos Dump site. This deletion of the White Bridge Road property of the Asbestos Dump site is proposed in accordance with 40 CFR 300.425(e) and the Notice of Policy Change: Partial Deletion of Sites listed on the NPL, published in the Federal Register on November 1, 1995.
