Book Synopsis Superfund's Future by : Katherine Probst
Download or read book Superfund's Future written by Katherine Probst and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reauthorization of the Superfund law continues to be a major source of controversy among political leaders and environmental activists. Some seek a major overhaul of the statute, arguing that considerable cleanup still needs to be done. Others oppose major changes, asserting that cleanup is almost complete. One of the most contentious issues in the debate is whether the taxes that once stocked the Superfund Trust Fund need to be reinstated. The answer depends in large part on how much money EPA will need to implement the Superfund program. To inform this discussion, the U.S. Congress asked Resources for the Future (RFF) to estimate the program's future costs. The results of this research are included in Superfund's Future, a book that will become an essential reference for all participants in the debate about one of the nation's most controversial environmental programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the results of a study commissioned by Congress estimating the future costs of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, commonly known as the Superfund program. The study projects the cost of activities such as cleaning up sites on the EPA's National Priorities List, conducting emergency response and removal actions, performing five-year reviews, and administering the program. c.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Superfund Program, focusing on: (1) trends in the number of reported hazardous waste sites; (2) EPA evaluation of potential contamination at these sites; and (3) recent estimates of the program's future growth. GAO found that: (1) the number of sites reported each year has steadily declined since 1985, primarily because the states believe that they can handle cleanups more efficiently and prefer to do the cleanups themselves; (2) states generally report sites that present challenging enforcement or cleanup problems; (3) the percentage of seriously contaminated sites among those reported has remained constant at 43 percent over the past 10 years; (4) EPA officials believe that contamination at newly discovered sites is not less severe, just less obvious; (5) EPA believes 1,700 new federal and nonfederal sites could be added to the National Priorities List through the year 2020; (6) the Congressional Budget Office believes that 3,300 new nonfederal sites could be added to the list through the year 2027; (7) the future Superfund workload could be higher than EPA estimated; and (8) any additions to the Superfund program will be difficult for EPA to manage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO discussed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) progress in cleaning up hazardous waste sites, focusing on: (1) future site clean-up challenges; and (2) possible clean-up approaches. GAO noted that: (1) EPA and responsible parties have removed significant amounts of hazardous waste from 149 sites on the National Priorities List (NPL) or reported as construction-complete; (2) EPA could better inform the public and Congress on a site's true status if it differentiates between sites that protect human health and the environment and those that require further remediation to achieve their clean-up objectives; (3) the remaining Superfund sites will probably be more costly to cleanup because they are more complex and require more extensive clean-up efforts; (4) EPA, states, and responsible parties will incur significant oversight, operation, and maintenance costs at many former NPL and construction-complete sites where untreated wastes remain; (5) oversight and funding problems will increase as the number of Superfund sites increase; (6) there is no consensus on how much cleanup is appropriate; (7) clean-up methods will depend on how EPA protects human health and the environment and sets clean-up standards at the sites; (8) possible clean-up approaches include uniform national clean-up standards, site-specific risk assessments, and treatment of immediate risks and delay of full cleanup; and (9) each clean-up approach has limitations due to the lack of scientific data and public acceptance.

Book excerpt: Superfund cleanup timing has been a long-standing concern of the Congress & EPA. In the Superfund Amendments & Reauthorization Act of 1986, the Congress set time goals for EPA & federal agencies to evaluate individual nonfederal & federal sites for placement on the National Priorities List (NPL) & begin various cleanup actions. In 1992, EPA introduced several initiatives designed to expedite Superfund cleanups. This report examines trends in the time taken to evaluate & process hazardous waste sites for possible placement on the NPL & to clean up these sites following their listing. Tables & graphs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) completed Superfund hazardous waste cleanup actions, focusing on the: (1) type and extent of actions taken at those sites; and (2) challenges EPA will face in managing and monitoring these sites. GAO found that: (1) significant amounts of hazardous wastes have been removed or controlled at 149 EPA Superfund hazardous waste sites; (2) EPA removal and remedial actions including landfill waste disposal, waste capping, and the use of contamination treatment technology have addressed long-term health risks and significant surface, soil, and groundwater contamination problems; (3) although most cleanup actions involved surface waste treatment, some sites did not require remedial action because EPA already addressed site risks; (4) other groundwater contamination problems required long-term treatment and monitoring; (5) EPA completed 125 separate removal actions at over half of the 149 sites and averted additional site and environmental contamination by removing waste from sites or constructing barriers to prevent access to waste; (6) despite these accomplishments, EPA needs to improve its reporting of cleanup work performed at sites on the National Priorities List; (7) EPA, states, and responsible parties can expect increased demands on cleanup resources because current and future Superfund sites will require complex cleanup efforts and long-term monitoring and maintenance; and (8) although states have increasingly challenged EPA interpretation of legislation requiring them to fund all costs for operating and maintaining completed or deleted sites, recent court rulings have upheld the EPA interpretation.

Book Synopsis Sediment Dredging at Superfund Megasites by : National Research Council
Download or read book Sediment Dredging at Superfund Megasites written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-10-30 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the nation's estuaries, lakes and other water bodies contain contaminated sediments that can adversely affect fish and wildlife and may then find their way into people's diets. Dredging is one of the few options available for attempting to clean up contaminated sediments, but it can uncover and re-suspend buried contaminants, creating additional exposures for wildlife and people. At the request of Congress, EPA asked the National Research Council (NRC) to evaluate dredging as a cleanup technique. The book finds that, based on a review of available evidence, dredging's ability to decrease environmental and health risks is still an open question. Analysis of pre-dredging and post-dredging at about 20 sites found a wide range of outcomes in terms of surface sediment concentrations of contaminants: some sites showed increases, some no change, and some decreases in concentrations. Evaluating the potential long-term benefits of dredging will require that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency step up monitoring activities before, during and after individual cleanups to determine whether it is working there and what combinations of techniques are most effective.

The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.
