ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-6317-5]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan
National Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of partial deletion of the Treasure Island Naval
Station--Hunters Point Annex Site from the National Priorities List
(NPL).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 9, announces
the deletion of operable unit (OU) No. 1, also known as Parcel A, of
Treasure Island Naval Station--Hunters Point Annex, also known as
Hunters Point Naval Shipyard (HPS), Superfund Site (EPA ID #
CA1170090087) from the NPL. The NPL constitutes Appendix B of 40 CFR
part 300 which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to section 105
of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act (CERCLA). EPA and the State of California have determined
that all appropriate responses under CERCLA have been implemented on
Parcel A of HPS, and that no further cleanup is appropriate for Parcel
A of HPS. Moreover, EPA and the State of California have determined
that the remedial actions conducted on Parcel A to date remain
protective of public health, welfare, and the environment. This partial
deletion is in accordance with 40 CFR 300.425(e) and the Notice of
Policy Change: Partial Deletion of Sites Listed on the National
Priorities List, 60 FR 55466 (November 1, 1995). The other parcels of
HPS, Parcels B, C, D, E, and F, are still undergoing remedial actions,
and are not to be removed from the NPL.
EFFECTIVE DATE: April 5, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be partially deleted from the
NPL is: Parcel A, of Treasure Island Naval Station--Hunters Point
Annex, San Francisco, California. After performing a Preliminary
Assessment and Site Inspection (PA/SI) and a Remedial Investigation
(RI) of Parcel A the Navy determined that Parcel A posed no significant
threat to public health or the environment. Therefore, the Navy, which
owns HPS, issued a ``no action'' Record of Decision (ROD) for Parcel A
of HPS in November of 1995. The U.S. EPA concurred with this ROD.
The Navy has implemented all appropriate response actions required
under CERCLA on Parcel A. Since the ROD for Parcel A specified ``no
action,'' a five year review is not necessary for this parcel. The
other parcels of HPS, Parcels B, C, D, E, and F, are still undergoing
remedial actions, and are not to be removed from the NPL.
A Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion for this Site was published
on December 15, 1998 in the Federal Register (63 FR 69032-69034). The
closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion
was January 14, 1999. EPA received only one comment letter. This
letter, from the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, expressed support
for the partial deletion of Parcel A. This letter is available for
review in the HPS site file at the U.S. EPA, Region 9, Superfund
Records Center, 4th floor, 95 Hawthorne St., San Francisco, CA 94105,
415-536-2000 and also in the repositories listed above.
EPA identifies sites which appear to present a significant risk to
public health, welfare, or the environment, and it maintains the
National Priorities List containing those sites. Remedial Actions at
sites on the NPL may be funded by the Hazardous Substance Response
Trust Fund (Fund). Any site or portion of a site deleted from the NPL
remains eligible for remedial actions in the unlikely event that
conditions at the site warrant such action. Section 300.425(e)(3) of
the NCP states that Fund-financed actions may be taken at sites deleted
from the NPL.
