Title: Delegating Superfund responsibilities: Implementation strategies and political ramifications of a state-wide lead model

Abstract

Federal officials manage the great majority of Superfund program work. States have assisted in the process on a site-by-site basis. This contrasts with other EPA programs in which states take responsibility for all work within their boundaries. The paper presents a model for an increased delegation of Superfund responsibilities to qualified states and tribes. Guidelines for implementing the policy shift are addressed as well as political ramifications for various stakeholders.
