Superfund handbook
This book discusses the law, politics, and practical problems of the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA - commonly known as Superfund) implementation. It surveys environmental and legal requirements that govern contaminated locations designated as Superfund sites by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and includes information on EPA policies and actions, cleanup standards, health and safety, corporate liability, and assessment of risks associated with human exposure to toxic materials. It notes the exclusion of petroleum from the definition of hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant, and lists possible exclusions from federal spill reporting requirements.
