This Is Superfund 1997 EPA

This clip provides an overview of the Superfund process for citizens who live near sites and anyone else interested in learning about the program.. Superfund is the name given to the environmental program established to address abandoned hazardous waste sites. It is also the name of the fund established by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA). This law was enacted in the wake of the discovery of toxic waste dumps such as Love Canal and Times Beach in the 1970s. It allows the EPA to clean up such sites and to compel responsible parties to perform cleanups or reimburse the government for EPA-lead cleanups. For more information on the US Superfund program, go to the EPA website at http://www.epa.gov/superfund/index.htm . This was clipped from the 1997 EPA video, This is Superfund. The entire film has been digitized by the nonprofit Public.Resource.Org (http://public.resource.org/index.html ) in a cooperative agreement with the National Technical Information Service (http://public.resource.org/ntis.gov/index.html ) and is available at the Internet Archive at www.archive.com .

The people employed at the fed and state level are good people who are being puppeted by politics.

A good friend, logically-minded, grounded, long-term dedicated employee

gets screwed by the political change from dem to repub.

And so do more than 500.

Oh boy, what a mess a commish has made.

It will serve the status quo well. What a cryin' shame
