| The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today that the Kassauf-Kimerling Superfund Site in Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida has been deleted from the National Priorities List (NPL) of hazardous waste sites.
When the site was proposed for deletion, EPA, with concurrence from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, announced it had determined that all appropriate cleanup measures under Superfund had been completed. Additionally, it was determined that the cleanup is effective and fully protective of public health and the environment. Public comment regarding the deletion was solicited from August 5, 1999 to September 5, 1999. No comment was received, therefore a responsiveness summary was unnecessary.
Deletion of the site from the NPL does not preclude eligibility for subsequent Superfund-financed actions if future conditions warrant.
The deletion docket, a compilation of documents which formed the basis for EPA's decision, and other site related documents are available for public review at the Tampa/Hillsborough County Public Library/Special Collections, 900 North Ashley in Tampa, Florida. |
