ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5527-2]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Martin Marietta Aluminum Company site 
from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 10, 
announces the deletion of the Martin Marietta Aluminum Company site 
from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL constitutes 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, as amended (CERCLA). EPA and the State of 
Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) have determined that 
no further cleanup under CERCLA is appropriate and that the selected 
remedy has been protective of human health and the environment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 5, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Howard Orlean, U.S. EPA Region 10, 
1200 Sixth Avenue, Mail Stop: ECL-113, Seattle, Washington 98101, (206) 
553-6903.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is:

    Martin Marietta Aluminum Company, The Dalles, Oregon.

    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published on May 13, 
1996, (61 FR 22006). The closing date for comments on the Notice of 
Intent to Delete was June 12, 1996. EPA received no comments.
    EPA identifies sites which appear to present a significant risk to 
human health, welfare or the environment, and it maintains the NPL as 
the list of those sites. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of 
Hazardous Substances Response Trust Fund-financed remedial actions. Any 
site deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed remedial 
actions in the unlikely event that conditions at the site warrant such 
action. Section 300.425 of the NCP states that Fund-financed actions 
may be taken at sites deleted from the NPL. Deletion of a site from the 
NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede Agency 
efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
