In this 37th episode, I discuss What is "CERCLA?"
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), enacted in 1980 and commonly known as Superfund, authorizes the EPA to clean up sites contaminated with hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants. It enforces a "polluter pays" principle, holding responsible parties liable for cleanup costs, and establishes a trust fund for abandoned site remediation.
"CERCLA" provides The US EPA the power to enforce clean up of past contamination by either forcing The Responsible Party(s) to remediate it or for more immediate needed action, utilizing SuperFunds (past collected taxes) to address the immediate need or if a site needs to be addressed due to the threat to the environment and human health and has not identified A Responsible Party(s) to be remediated by The US EPA.
Whenever possible, if at Any Time A Responsible Party(s) is identified, if SuperFunds were utilized, The US EPA enforces CERCLA to attempt to recover any SuperFunds that were utilized.
