Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) does not provide for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to perform all site cleanups. Instead, responsible parties are typically held liable for cleanup costs or are required to undertake the cleanup themselves, under EPA oversight. The EPA can recover the costs of cleanup from the responsible parties, which can include, but are not limited to, generators and transporters of hazardous waste, as well as current and former owners and operators of contaminated sites. The Act also establishes the "Superfund" and allows states and private parties who clean up hazardous waste sites to seek reimbursement from the fund. Additionally, the Act prioritizes hazardous waste sites based on their potential risk to human health and the environment and provides for the creation of a government fund to finance the cleanup of these sites.
