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

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 10 announces the deletion of the ALCOA (Vancouver Smelter) NPL Site, located in Vancouver (Clark County), 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 (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended. EPA and the State of Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) have determined that the Site poses no significant threat to public health or the environment and, therefore, further remedial measures pursuant to CERCLA is not appropriate.
