Question

How does the United States Superfund Act help control hazardous wastes?

Answer 1

The Superfund program provides important benefits for people and the environment:

Recent academic research, from the study Superfund Cleanups and Infant Health, demonstrated that investment in Superfund cleanups reduces the incidence of birth defects for those living within 2,000 meters (or 2,187 yards) of a site.

Another academic study found that residential property values within three miles of Superfund sites increased 18.6-24.5 percent when sites were cleaned up and deleted from the National Priorities List.

As of the end of fiscal year 2014, 450 of the 850 sites where some kind of reuse is occurring indicate that the ongoing operations of approximately 3,470 businesses are generating annual sales over $65.1 billion and employing over 89,000 people, who are earning a combined income of $6.0 billion.
Superfund is the federal government's program to clean up the nation's uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. We're committed to ensuring that remaining National Priorities List hazardous waste sites are cleaned up to protect the environment and the health of all Americans.
