EPA Administrator William K. Reilly has pledged a shift in emphasis of Superfund toward an enforcement first program, to force companies and other polluters to carry out more hazardous waste site cleanups. The redirection also focuses on setting and managing environmental priorities, with a special emphasis on taking early actions. This emphasis commits EPA to controlling acute problems first, then initiating high-priority longer-term response actions until health and environmental standards are met. In pledging this stepped-up enforcement effort, Reilly is implementing the top-priority recommendation of a newly released EPA management report on how to improve the agency's Superfund hazardous waste site cleanup program. The report is widely known as the 90-Day Review.
