Environmental Pollution in Colorado from Superfund Sites

been affected or your property has been devalued, you can punish polluters by
filing a lawsuit against them with the help of an environmental toxic tort
lawyer.
Weitz & Luxenberg is nationally known for its
groundbreaking work in MTBE and asbestos litigation, handling tens of thousands
of lawsuits for clients across the country.
Superfund was enacted by the
United States Congress on December 11, 1980 in response to the Love Canal
disaster. This law created a tax on petroleum and chemical industries and
provided broad federal authority to respond directly to releases or threatened
releases of hazardous substances that may endanger public health or the
environment. Over five years, $1.6 billion was collected, and the tax went to a
trust fund for cleaning up abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous waste
sites.
Inclusion of a site on the NPL does not in itself require
potentially liable parties to initiate action to cleanup the site, nor does it
assign liability to any person. The NPL serves primarily informational purposes,
identifying for the States and the public those sites or other releases that
appear to warrant remedial actions.
The EPA lists 1,604 Superfund sites
as of May 2005.
