With few exceptions EPA has not made a distinction between estimated risks which are real and current versus those which are speculative and contingent on uncertain future uses of contaminated land or water or uncertain migration of contaminants. EPA has not carried out a comprehensive and systematic site discovery program nationwide... ...EPA`s screening procedures for determining whether sites require remedial cleanup under Superfund incorrectly eliminate some sites which really do require cleanup. EPA has not estimated the magnitude of these false negative decisions... From 240 to 2,000 false negative decisions may exist. 175 refs.
