ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[FRL-5653-3]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Louisiana-Pacific Superfund Site (EPA 
ID # CAD065021594) from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of the Louisiana-Pacific Superfund Site located in Oroville, 
California, 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 California Department of Toxic Substances Control have 
determined the Site poses no significant threat to public health or the 
environment and, therefore, no further remedial measures pursuant to 
CERCLA are appropriate.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 21, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred Schauffler, Remedial Project 
Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, Mail Code H-7-2, San Francisco, California 94105, (415) 744-
2359.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
Louisiana-Pacific Corporation site, Oroville, California.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published August 27, 
1996 (61 FR 44025). The closing date for comments on the Notice of 
Intent to Delete was September 26, 1996. EPA received no comments.

[[Page 59185]]

    EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to 
public health, welfare, or the environment and it maintains the NPL as 
the list of those sites. In accordance with NCP Sec. 300.425(e)(3), 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 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.
