ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 300
[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1983-0002; FRL-9213-9]
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List: Partial Deletion of the Denver Radium
Superfund Site
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule, extension of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 issued a
Notice of Intent to Delete portions of the Denver Radium Superfund Site
from the National Priorities List (NPL) on September 9, 2010 (75 FR
54779). The portions proposed for deletion are each of the 11 operable
units at the Denver Radium Site, located in the City and County of
Denver, Colorado. Groundwater contamination associated with Operable
Unit 8 will remain on the NPL. To ensure that everyone has an
opportunity to comment, EPA is extending the public comment period
through November 1, 2010.
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
Colorado, through the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE), have determined that all appropriate response
actions under CERCLA, other than operation, maintenance and five-year
reviews have been completed.
This rationale for deleting the 11 operable units of the Denver
Radium Superfund Site has not changed. The Federal Register notice for
the proposed deletion (75 FR 54779) discusses this rationale in detail.
DATES: Comments concerning the proposed partial deletion may be
submitted to EPA on or before November 5, 2010.
