(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and 
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA and the 
State of California, through the San Francisco Regional Water Quality 
Control Board, have determined that all appropriate response actions 
under CERCLA have been completed. However, the deletion of the Site 
does not preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES: This action is effective September 24, 2019.

Identification No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-1986-0005. All documents in the docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site to be deleted from the NPL is the 
Intel Corp. (Santa Clara III) Superfund Site, Santa Clara, California. 
A Notice of Intent to Delete was published in the Federal Register (84 
FR 37195-37198) on July 31, 2019. The closing date for comments was 
August 30, 2019. EPA received one public comment opposing its decision 
to delete the Site from the NPL. The commenter opposed the deletion 
because of the concern that contamination could return. EPA believes 
the deletion is appropriate because the applicable NPL deletion 
criterion established by the NCP has been met: The responsible party, 
Intel Corporation, has implemented all

appropriate response actions for groundwater set forth in the 2010 
amendment to the 1990 Record of Decision, which selected the remedy for 
contaminated groundwater at the Site. Confirmation sampling indicates 
that all contaminants of concern are below state and federal drinking 
water standards. Since there is no ongoing source of contamination at 
the Site, EPA is confident that the groundwater at the Site will 
continue to meet State and Federal drinking water standards in the 
future. EPA prepared a responsiveness summary and placed it in both the 
docket at www.regulations.gov (EPA-HQ-SFUND-1986-0005) and in the 
repository listed above.
    EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to present a 
significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment. 
Deletion of a site from the NPL does not preclude further remedial 
action. Whenever there is a significant release from a site deleted 
from the NPL, the deleted site may be restored to the NPL without 
application of the hazard ranking system. Deletion of a site from the 
NPL does not affect responsible party liability, in the unlikely event 
that future conditions warrant further actions.
