More than thirteen years ago, Congress enacted the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) in an effort {open_quotes}to bring order to the array of partly redundant, partly inadequate federal hazardous substances cleanup and compensation laws. The contentious debate that has swirled around the second major reauthorization of the statute bears witness to CERCLA`s failure, thus far, to achieve that objective. According to a wide variety of interests, both the cleanup and the response cost reimbursement mechanisms appear to be unsatisfactory, and the many proposals expected to surface during the reauthorization process are likely to focus on improving those aspects of CERCLA`s implementation. 61 refs.
