National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan National Priorities List Update

The site to be partially deleted from the NPL is: Parcel A, of Treasure Island Naval Station--Hunters Point Annex, San Francisco, California. After performing a Preliminary Assessment and Site Inspection (PA/SI) and a Remedial Investigation (RI) of Parcel A the Navy determined that Parcel A posed no significant threat to public health or the environment. Therefore, the Navy, which owns HPS, issued a ``no action'' Record of Decision (ROD) for Parcel A of HPS in November of 1995. The U.S. EPA concurred with this ROD. The Navy has implemented all appropriate response actions required under CERCLA on Parcel A. Since the ROD for Parcel A specified ``no action,'' a five year review is not necessary for this parcel. The other parcels of HPS, Parcels B, C, D, E, and F, are still undergoing remedial actions, and are not to be removed from the NPL. A Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion for this Site was published on December 15, 1998 in the Federal Register (63 FR 69032-69034). The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion was January 14, 1999. EPA received only one comment letter. This letter, from the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, expressed support for the partial deletion of Parcel A. This letter is available for review in the HPS site file at the U.S. EPA, Region 9, Superfund Records Center, 4th floor, 95 Hawthorne St., San Francisco, CA 94105, 415-536-2000 and also in the repositories listed above. EPA identifies sites which appear to present a significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment, and it maintains the National Priorities List containing those sites. Remedial Actions at sites on the NPL may be funded by the Hazardous Substance Response Trust Fund (Fund). Any site or portion of a site deleted from the NPL remains eligible for remedial actions in the unlikely event that conditions at the site warrant such action. Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that Fund-financed actions may be taken at sites deleted from the NPL.
