40 CFR PART 300

[FRL-5209-3]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Final Rule: Notice of Deletion of United States Army Fort Lewis 
Landfill No. 5 from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the 
deletion of United States Army Fort Lewis Landfill No. 5, located in 
Pierce County, Washington from the National Priorities List (NPL). The 
NPL is Appendix B of 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 
Washington Department of Ecology 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: May 22, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Jane Nearman, Site Manager, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10, 1200 6th Avenue, HW-124, 
Seattle, WA 98101, [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is: 
United States Army Fort Lewis Landfill No. 5, Pierce County, 
Washington.
    A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published March 27, 
1995. (60 FR 15737). The closing date for comments on the Notice of 
Intent to Delete was April 26, 1995. 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. Any site deleted from the NPL remains eligible 
for remedial actions in the unlikely event that conditions at the site 
warrant such action in the future. NCP Section 300.425(e)(3). Deletion 
of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or 
impede Agency efforts to recover costs associated with response 
efforts.
