[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2009-0501; FRL-8934-1]

National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of Intent to Delete the Southern California Edison,
Visalia Pole Yard Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region IX is issuing
a Notice of Intent to Delete the Southern California Edison (SCE),
Visalia Pole Yard Superfund Site (Site) located in northeastern
Visalia, Tulare County, California, from the National Priorities List
(NPL), and requests public comments on this action. 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 California, through
the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), have determined that
all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than operation,
maintenance, and five-year reviews, have been completed. However, this
deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES: Comments concerning deletion of this Site must be received by
August 26, 2009.
