Texas Superfund Sites
Fight Air Pollution & Water Pollution With an Environmental Toxic Tort Lawsuit

Texas residents should know they may be at risk for serious health problems if they live close to a Superfund site and are exposed to environmental pollution. Property may lose value if it is polluted by the toxins frequently found in these sites. If your health has been negatively affected or your property has been somehow damaged, you should punish polluters and file a lawsuit against them with the help of the environmental toxic tort team at Weitz & Luxenberg. Our firm is nationally recognized for its groundbreaking work in MTBE and asbestos litigation, having handled 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.

Under CERCLA, four classes of parties may be liable for contamination at a Superfund site:
• the current owner or operator of the site (CERCLA section 107(a));
• the owner or operator of a site at the time that disposal of a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant occurred (CERCLA section 107(a)(2);
• a person who arranged for the disposal of a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant at a site (CERCLA section 107(a)(3));and
• a person who transported a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant to a site; that transporter must have also selected that site for the disposal of the hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants (CERCLA section 107(a)(4)).

The EPA lists 1,604 Superfund sites as of May 2005.
