40 CFR Part 300
[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2012-0063; FRL-10012-86-Region 4]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Fairfax St. Wood Treaters

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 announces
the deletion of the Fairfax St. Wood Treaters Superfund Site (Site)
located in Jacksonville, Florida, 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 Florida, through the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP), have determined that all appropriate response
actions under CERCLA, have been completed. However, this deletion does
not preclude future actions under Superfund.
DATES: This action is effective August 18, 2020.
ADDRESSES:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is:
Fairfax St. Wood Treaters Superfund Site, Jacksonville, Florida. A
Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was published in the Federal

The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was
July 16, 2020. One public comment was

received. The comment received was not related to the deletion rule-
making. A responsiveness summary was prepared and placed in the docket,
EPA-HQ-SFUND-2012-0063, on https://www.regulations.gov.
The 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.
