Summary
The EPA is removing a contaminated site from its National Priorities List, meaning the site no longer qualifies for federal cleanup funding and oversight. This correcting amendment fixes an administrative error in the previous removal decision.
Key Points
- 1A contaminated site is being officially removed from the EPA's National Priorities List, which tracks the nation's most serious pollution problems
- 2Once removed, the site will no longer receive federal funding for environmental cleanup and will no longer be subject to EPA oversight
- 3This is a correcting amendment, meaning the EPA is fixing a mistake from an earlier removal decision
- 4Local residents and property owners at or near the site should verify cleanup status with state environmental agencies, as responsibility may shift to state oversight
- 5The removal typically means the site was successfully cleaned up or poses a low enough risk that federal priority funding is no longer necessary
Impact Assessment
If you are a homeowner or business near this site, this means the property is no longer eligible for federal Superfund cleanup assistance, shifting responsibility for any remaining remediation to state authorities or responsible parties.
