National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List Update

EPA--New England announces the deletion of the Pinette's Salvage Yard Superfund Site located in Washburn, Aroostook County, Maine from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA), is found at Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA and the State of Maine, through the Department of Environmental Protection, have determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been completed and the site poses no significant threat to human health or the environment. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.
