Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 announces the deletion of the Martin-Marietta/Sodyeco Superfund Site (Site) located at 11701 Mount Holly Road in Charlotte, North Carolina, 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 North Carolina, through the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), 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

Effective Date: This action is effective January 20, 2012.

Supplementary Information

The site to be deleted from the NPL is: Martin-Marietta/Sodyeco Superfund Site (Site) located at 11701 Mount Holly Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published in the Federal Register on November 18, 2011. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was December 17, 2011. No public comments were received during the comment period. Therefore a responsiveness summary was not prepared and placed in the docket, EPA-R04-SFUND-2011-0749, on www.regulations.gov, or 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.
