National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of deletion of the Old Inland Pit Site from the National
Priorities List.
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 10, announces the deletion of the Old Inland Pit Site from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL constitutes 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 (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended. EPA and the State of Washington Department of Ecology have determined that no further cleanup under CERCLA is appropriate and that the selected remedy has been protective of human health and the environment.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
August 31, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The site to be deleted from the NPL is: Old Inland Pit, Spokane County, Spokane, Washington.
A Notice of Intent to Delete for this site was published on June 17, 1999, (64 FR 32468). The closing date for comments was July 16, 1999. 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. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of Hazardous Substance Response Trust Fund-financed remedial actions. 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. Section 300.425 of the NCP states that Fund-financed actions may be taken at sites deleted from the NPL. Deletion of a site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability or impede Agency efforts to recover costs associated with response efforts.
