Description

Congress enacted the Comprehensive Environmental Response,Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA; P.L. 96-510) in response to a growing desire for the federal government to ensure the cleanup of the nationäó»s most contaminated sites to protect the public from potential harm. The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-499, SARA) clarified the applicability of the statuteäó»s requirements to federal facilities, and modified various response, liability, and enforcement provisions. Several other laws also have amended CERCLA for specific purposes, including relief from cleanup liability for certain categories of parties, and the authorization of federal assistance for the cleanup of abandoned or idled äóìbrownfieldsäó where the presence or perception of contamination may impede economic redevelopment. Contents of this report: Introduction; Major Amendments; Federal Response Authorities; Selection of Response Actions; Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR); Financial Liability; Hazardous Substance Superfund Trust Fund; Enforcement Mechanisms; Federal Facilities; Brownfields Properties.
