Summary:

Congress is considering possible changes to the hazardous waste cleanup program known as Superfund. This statement for the record discusses (1) the program's progress, cleanup pace, and accomplishments; (2) trends in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) spending on Superfund administrative and support activities and how much of these costs EPA recovers from parties responsible for contaminating Superfund sites; (3) the number and type of waste sites that the program may clean up in the future; and (4) barriers to the redevelopment of brownfields--abandoned industrial properties, often located in blighted urban areas--and federal efforts to overcome these barriers.
