ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-7565-3]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of intent for partial deletion of the Rocky Mountain
Arsenal National Priorities List Site from the National Priorities
List; second extension of public comment periods.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 announced
its intent to delete the Selected Perimeter Area (SPA, 68 FR 44259) and
the Surface Deletion Area (SDA, 68 FR 44265) of the Rocky Mountain
Arsenal National Priorities List Site (RMA/NPL Site) On-Post Operable
Unit (OU) from the National Priorities List (NPL) on July 28, 2003. In
response to a written request, EPA extended both public comment periods
for an additional 30 days concluding on September 25, 2003 (68 FR
51221). EPA has received a request to further extend these public
comment periods. In response, EPA is extending both public comment
periods for an additional 30 days concluding on October 27, 2003.
The NPL constitutes appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 which is the
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP),
which EPA
[[Page 57856]]
promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).
EPA bases its proposal to delete the SPA and SDA portions of the
RMA/NPL Site on the determination by EPA and the State of Colorado,
through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
(CDPHE), that all appropriate actions under CERCLA have been
implemented to protect human health, welfare, and the environment and
that no further response action by responsible parties is appropriate.
This basis for deleting the SPA and SDA from the RMA/NPL Site has not
changed. The Federal Register notice for the SPA (68 FR 44259) and the
SDA (68 FR 44265) provide a discussion of the bases for the intended
partial deletions.
DATES: Comments concerning the proposed partial deletions may be
submitted to EPA on or before October 27, 2003.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to: Catherine Roberts, Community
Involvement Coordinator (80C), U.S. EPA, Region 8, 999 18th Street,
