SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the deletion of NAS Whidbey Seaplane Base, located on Whidbey Island, Washington from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300 which is 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 have determined that no further cleanup under CERCLA is appropriate and that the selected remedy has been protective of public health, welfare and the environment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The site to be deleted from the NPL is NAS Whidbey Seaplane, Whidbey Island, Washington.
A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published July 17, 1995 in Federal Register [60 FR 36770]. The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was August 31, 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. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede Agency efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
