Members of Congress, representatives of the Environmental Protection Agency, and members of various businesses and financial institutions were among those testifying at a hearing to examine the issue of Superfund lender liability.Attention is focused on whether federal Superfund liability is affecting the lending and borrowing communities in a manner that is inconsistent with the public interest. The present liability system forces private parties associated with contaminated sites, and not the taxpayer at large, to pick up the tab for cleanup.
