## Abstract

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 announces the deletion of the surface portion of the Prewitt Abandoned Refinery Superfund Site (the Site) from the National Priorities List (NPL).

The subsurface portion of the Site will remain on the NPL, and response activities will continue at that portion. With the concurrence of the State of New Mexico through the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED), and with the concurrence of the Navajo Nation through the Navajo Nation Superfund Office (NSO), the EPA has determined that responsible parties have implemented all appropriate response actions required at the surface portion of the Site (neither the CERCLA-required five-year reviews, nor operation and maintenance of the constructed remedy is considered further response action for these purposes), that all appropriate Hazardous Substance Response Trust Fund (Fund) financed response actions under CERCLA have been implemented at the surface portion of the Site, and that no further response action by responsible parties is appropriate for the surface portion of the Site.
