ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5300-9]


National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution 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 NAS Whidbey Seaplane Base, located on Whidbey Island, 
Washington from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is Appendix 
B of 40 CFR part 300 which is 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 and that the selected remedy has been protective of public 
health, welfare and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 21, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
R. Matthew Wilkening, Site Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region 10, 1200 6th Avenue, HW-124, Seattle, WA 98101, (206) 
553-1284.
Engineering Field Activity, NW (primary Admin. Record location) Naval 
Facilities Engineering Command, 19917 7th Ave. Poulsbo, Washington

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is NAS 
Whidbey Seaplane, Whidbey Island, Washington.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published July 17, 
1995 in Federal Register [60 FR 36770]. The closing date for comments 
on the Notice of Intent to Delete was August 31, 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.
