National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan; National

Priorities List Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Final rule; notice of deletion of the Yakima Plating Company

site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the

deletion of the Yakima Plating Company site, located in Yakima,

Washington from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is Appendix

B of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances 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 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: August 23, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sean Sheldrake, Site Manager, U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10, 1200 6th Avenue, HW-113,

Seattle, WA 98101, (206) 553-1220.

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

Yakima Plating Company, Yakima, Washington

A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published June 15,

1994, (59 FR 30752). The closing date for comments on the Notice of

Intent to Delete was July 15, 1994. 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. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of

Hazardous Substance 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.
