National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Fort Dix Landfill Superfund
Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 is issuing
a Notice of Intent to Delete the Fort Dix Landfill Superfund Site
(Site) located in Pemberton Township, New Jersey, 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 New Jersey, through the NJ Department of Environmental
Protection, 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: Comments must be received by August 24, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' Section of
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of
Deletion of the Fort Dix Landfill Superfund Site without prior Notice
of Intent to Delete because we view this as a noncontroversial revision
and anticipate no adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for
this deletion in the preamble to the direct final Notice 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 Notice of Intent to Delete. If we receive adverse comment(s), we
will withdraw the direct final Notice of Deletion, and it will not take
effect. We will, as appropriate, address all public comments in a
subsequent final Notice of Deletion based on this Notice of Intent to
Delete. We will not institute a second comment period on this Notice of
Intent to Delete. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at
this time.
