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.
