The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 is issuing a Notice of Intent to Delete the surface and unsaturated subsurface soils outside of the 4.5 acre Treated Soils Area of the Idaho Pole Company Superfund Site (Site) located in Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana, from 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 Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), have determined that all appropriate response actions at these identified media 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 the surface and unsaturated subsurface soils remedy component outside of the 4.5 acre Treated Soils Area of the Idaho Pole Company Superfund Site. The 4.5 acre Treated Soils Area is identified on the survey map in the docket and is the location where all treated soils were placed after on-site treatment. The groundwater and saturated subsurface soils within the historic groundwater table, and the Site's sediments are not being considered for deletion as part of this action.
Notice of Availability of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group Final Supplemental Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment for the Lake Charles Science Center and Educational Complex Project Modification and Finding of No Significant Impact
Document Number: 2019-14992
Type: Notice

Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
In accordance with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Federal and State natural resource trustee agencies for the Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group (Louisiana TIG) have prepared the Final Supplemental Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment for the Lake Charles Science Center and Educational Complex Project Modification (Final Supplemental RP/ EA). The Final Supplemental RP/EA describes and, in conjunction with the associated Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), selects the modified Lake Charles Science Center and Educational Complex (SCEC) project considered by the Louisiana TIG to compensate for recreational use services lost as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The Louisiana TIG evaluated project alternatives under criteria set forth in the OPA natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) regulations, and evaluated the environmental consequences of the alternatives in accordance with the NEPA. The selected project is consistent with the restoration alternatives selected in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill Final Programmatic Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan/Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PDARP/PEIS). The Federal Trustees of the Louisiana TIG have determined that implementation of the Final Supplemental RP/EA is not a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment within the context of the NEPA. They have concluded a FONSI is appropriate, and, therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared. The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of the approval and availability of the Final Supplemental RP/EA and FONSI.
