ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5209-7]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of a site from the National Priorities List.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of Hamilton Island, located in Skamania County, Washington 
from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is Appendix B of 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 
(CERCLA), as amended. EPA and the State of Washington have determined 
that no further cleanup under CERCLA is appropriate.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 25, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Christopher Cora, Site Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region 10, 1200 6th Avenue, HW-124, Seattle, WA 98101, (206) 553-1148.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Hamilton Island, Skamania County, Washington.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published April 12, 
1995 Federal Register [Vol. 60, No. 70, 18565-18566]. The closing date 
for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was May 12, 1995. EPA 
received no comments.
    EPA identifies sites which appear to present a significant risk to 
public health, welfare, or the environment and it maintains the NPL as 
the list of those sites. Any site deleted from the NPL remains eligible 
for remedial actions in the unlikely event that conditions at the site 
warrant such action in the future. Deletion of a site from the NPL does 
not affect responsible party liability or impede Agency efforts to 
recover costs associated with response efforts.
