ID # CAD065021594) from the National Priorities List.
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the deletion of the Louisiana-Pacific Superfund Site located in Oroville, California, 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 California Department of Toxic Substances Control have determined the Site poses no significant threat to public health or the environment and, therefore, no further remedial measures pursuant to CERCLA are appropriate.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
November 21, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Fred Schauffler, Remedial Project Manager
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The site to be deleted from the NPL is: Louisiana-Pacific Corporation site, Oroville, California.
A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published August 27, 1996 (61 FR 44025). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent to Delete was September 26, 1996. EPA received no comments.
EPA identifies sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment and it maintains the NPL as the list of those sites. In accordance with NCP Sec. 300.425(e)(3), any site deleted from the NPL remains eligible for Fund-financed 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.
