Dear Mr. Oland: 
This letter is intended to initiate informal consultation with 
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to determine whether there are 
any federal endangered/threatened species or critical habitats 
present on or in the vicinity of the Island Chemical Company 
National Priorities List site, located in Christiansted 
Jurisdiction, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Enclosed is 
information about the site, including maps of the affected area, 
for your review. 
In compliance with the mandate of Section 7 of the Endangered 
Species Act of 1973, as amended, EPA is requesting a written 
statement from you indicating whether any endangered or 
threatened species which are listed or proposed to be listed may 
be present in the project area. Please advise us concerning the 
range of territory covered by any federal endangered/threatened 
species that may be found in the area of the site, and whether 
remedial action for the site may result in impacts to these 
species or their critical habitats. 
If you have any questions or require additional information, 
please contact Robert Witte of my staff at (212) 637-3519. We 
appreciate your assistance in this matter. 
Sincerely yours, 
Robert W. Hargrove, Chief 
Environmental Impacts Branch
