An important aspect of the Superfund program is citizen involvement at the local level in decision making that relates to site-specific cleanup actions. Recognizing the importance of community involvement and the need for citizens living near NPL sites to be well informed, Congress included provisions in SARA to establish a Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) Program, intended to promote public involvement in decisions on site-specific cleanup strategies under Superfund. The TAG Program provides funds for qualified citizens' groups affected by a Superfund site to hire independent technical advisors to help them understand and comment on site-related information, and thus participate in cleanup decisions.
