The executive director of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC ) is issuing a public notice of intent to delete (delist) the Poly-Cycle Industries, Inc. state Superfund site (the Site) from the State Registry, the list of state Superfund sites which may constitute an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health and safety or the environment due to a release or threatened release of hazardous substances into the environment. The executive director has determined that this site has been accepted into the TNRCC Voluntary Cleanup Program, and is therefore eligible for deletion in accordance with 30 TAC §335.344(c). This notice supercedes a notice originally published in the October 8, 1999, issue of the Texas Register (24TexReg 8793), which incorrectly stated the date for public comment.

The Site was originally proposed for listing on the state Superfund registry in the March 6, 1998, issue of the Texas Register (23 TexReg 2621). The Site, including all land, structures, appurtenances, and other improvements is located west of State Highway 75, 1/2 mile north of Palmer, Ellis County, Texas, at the northern end of Main Street. In addition, the Site includes any areas outside the site property boundary where hazardous substance(s) came to be located as a result, either directly or indirectly, of releases of hazardous substance(s) from the site property.

In accordance with 30 TAC §335.344(b), the TNRCC will hold a public meeting to receive comment on this intended deletion. This meeting will not be considered a contested case hearing within the meaning of Texas Government Code, Chapter 2001. The meeting will be held at 2:00 p.m. on August 3, 2000, at the TNRCC complex, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Building E, Room 201S, Austin, Texas. The meeting will consist of two parts: an informal discussion period and a formal comment period.

Persons desiring to make comments on the proposed deletion of the Site may do so at the meeting or in writing prior to the public meeting. Written comments may be submitted to Mr. Tim Dobbs, TNRCC Remediation Division, MC 143, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087. All comments must be received by the close of the public meeting on August 3, 2000.

A portion of the records for this site, including documents pertinent to the executive director's determination, is available for review during regular business hours at the Palmer City Hall, 113 West Jefferson, Palmer, Texas 75152, telephone number: (972) 845-3288.
