Superfund at work: Hazardous waste cleanup efforts nationwide, Summer 1993 (Coal Creek Site Profile, Chehalis, Washington)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7309724
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designed a remedy that will permanently remove polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), lead, and copper from the Coal Creek site in Chehalis, Washington. Through careful negotiations, EPA secured the participation of all 86 waste contributors to conduct the cleanup, valued between $13 and $15 million. The Coal Creek site illustrates the need for a federal enforcement program to ensure that waste contributors conduct comprehensive cleanups that protect citizens and the environment. EPA took the lead in coordinating cleanup activities, an important intervention at a time when the state did not yet have its own hazardous waste cleanup law.
