ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[FRL-7848-6]
National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan
National Priorities List
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of intent to partially delete 9.84 acres within the
Uravan Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 is issuing
a notice of intent to partially delete 9.84 acres within the Uravan
Superfund Site located in Montrose County, Colorado, from the National
Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comment on this notice of
intent. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is found at Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300
which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the State of Colorado, through the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, have determined
that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than
operation and maintenance and five-year reviews, have been completed
for the 9.84 acres including two historic structures.
[[Page 75892]]
However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under
Superfund.
In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of today's Federal
Register, we are publishing a direct final notice of partial deletion
of the Uravan Superfund Site without prior notice of intent to delete
because we view this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipate no
adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for this partial
deletion in the preamble to the direct final deletion. If we receive no
adverse comment(s) on this notice of intent to partially delete or the
direct final notice of partial deletion, we will not take further
action on this notice of intent to delete. If we receive adverse
comment(s), we will withdraw the direct final notice of partial
deletion and it will not take effect. We will, as appropriate, address
all public comments in a subsequent final deletion notice based on this
notice of intent to partially delete. We will not institute a second
comment period on this notice of intent to partially delete. Any
parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. For
additional information, see the direct final notice of deletion which
is located in the rules section of this Federal Register.
