The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 is issuing a Notice of Intent to Delete the Beryllium Operable Unit 9 (OU9), the Flue Dust OU11 and the Arbiter OU12 of the Anaconda Co. Smelter Superfund Site (Site) located in Anaconda, MT, from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this proposed action. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the State of Montana, through the Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), have determined that all appropriate response actions at these identified parcels under CERCLA, other than operation and maintenance, monitoring and five-year reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund. This partial deletion pertains to three Operable Units; the Beryllium (OU9), the Flue Dust (OU11) and the Arbiter (OU12). The other areas of the Site will remain on the NPL and are not being considered for deletion as part of this action.
