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

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 is publishing a direct final notice of partial deletion of the Davenport and Flagstaff Smelters Superfund Site from the National Priorities List (NPL). Specifically EPA intends to delete 23 residential properties within the Davenport and Flagstaff Smelters Superfund Site located in Salt Lake County, Utah. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300, which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA is publishing this direct final notice of partial deletion with the concurrence of the State of Utah, through the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ), because the EPA has determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been completed at these properties and, therefore, further remedial action pursuant to CERCLA is not appropriate. This partial deletion pertains only to the 23 properties listed in section IV of this document and does not include any other portion of the Davenport and Flagstaff Smelters Superfund Site. The remainder of the Site will remain on the NPL and response activities will continue.
