Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 is issuing a Notification of Intent to Delete the Scrap Processing Co., Inc. Superfund Site (Scrap Processing Site or Site) located in Medford, Wisconsin, 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 State of Wisconsin, through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), have determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than operation and maintenance, monitoring institutional controls, and five-year reviews, have been completed at the Scrap Processing Site. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.

Dates

Comments must be received by August 26, 2020.

Supplementary Information

In the “Rules and Regulations” Section of this issue of the Federal Register , we are publishing a direct final Notification of Deletion of the Scrap Processing Site without prior Notification of Intent to Delete because EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comment(s). We have explained our reasons for this deletion in the preamble to the direct final Notification 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 Notification of Intent to Delete. If we receive adverse comment(s), we will withdraw the direct final Notification of Deletion, and it will not take effect. We will, as appropriate, address all public comments in a subsequent final Notification of Deletion based on this Notification of Intent to Delete. We will not institute a second comment period on this Notification of Intent to Delete. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. For additional information, see the direct final Notification of Deletion which is located in the Rules section of this issue of the Federal Register .
