superfund

Superfund

Superfund or Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 is a United States federal law designed to clean up sites contaminated with hazardous substances as well as broadly defined "pollutants or contaminants". Superfund also gives authority to federal natural resource agencies, states and Indian tribes to recover natural resource damages caused by releases of hazardous substances, and it created the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. CERCLA's broad authority to clean up releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances that may endanger public health or welfare or the environment was given primarily to the Environmental Protection Agency and to states. EPA may identify parties responsible for hazardous substances releases to the environment and compel those parties to clean up the sites, or it may cleanup itself using the Superfund and cost recover from responsible parties by referring such matters to the U.S. Department of Justice.
