National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan; National Priorities List Update

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 announces the deletion of the Western Pacific Railroad Site in Oroville, Butte County, 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, through the Department of Toxic Substances Control, have determined that the site poses no significant threat to public health or the environment and, therefore, no further remedial measures pursuant to CERCLA are appropriate.
