SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 10 announces
the deletion of the Harbor Oil Superfund Site (Site) located at 11535
North Force Avenue in Portland, Oregon, from the National Priorities
List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the
State of Oregon, through the Department of Environmental Quality have
determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been
completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions
under Superfund.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is:
Harbor Oil Superfund Site located at 11535 North Force Avenue in
Portland, Oregon. A Notice of Intent to Delete for this Site was
published in the Federal Register (79 FR 19037-19039) on April 7, 2014.
The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was
May 16, 2014. No public comments were received. Since there were no
comments, EPA is finalizing the deletion of the Site from the NPL. No
responsiveness was prepared.
EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to present a
significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment.
Deletion from the NPL does not preclude further remedial action.
Whenever there is a significant release from a site deleted from the
NPL, the deleted site may be restored to the NPL without application of
the hazard ranking system. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not
affect responsible party liability in the unlikely event that future
conditions warrant further actions.
