Description

The federal Superfund program is a program is designed to clean up1 the most serious
hazardous waste sites in the United States. These sites include many dumps or landfills, old
industrial plants and refineries, abandoned mines and smelters, and federal military or nuclear
sites. Superfund does not deal with currently operating solid waste landfills or active industries,
but only with closed or abandoned sites. The federal program under the supervision of the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) deals only with the most serious of
such sites, though state programs handle many others.
Under the “polluter pays” principle, the government takes legal action to get the former owners
