National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan National Priorities List Update

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the deletion of the Frit Industries Superfund site located in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA). The EPA, in consultation with the Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and Ecology, has determined that all appropiate RCRA response activities conducted at the site to date and scheduled in the future are enforceable and have been and will remain protective of the public health, welfare, and the environment. Moreover, this deferral to RCRA corrective action authorities is appropriate.
