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.

While more than 2,700 emergency removals of hazardous materials have taken place under Superfund, implementing the long-term cleanup program has been the object of considerable controversy. One of the most contentious issues is whether the liability standards in the law should be revised. The authors analyze the pros and cons associated with the current liability approach, as well as with a variety of alternative strategies.

The EPA's Superfund & Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA) programs were established to clean up hazardous waste sites. Because some sites cannot be cleaned up to allow unrestricted use, institutional controls -- legal or administrative restrictions on land or resource use to protect against exposure to the residual contamination -- are placed on them. This report reviews the extent to which: (1) institutional controls are used at Superfund & RCRA sites; & (2) EPA ensures that these controls are implemented, monitored, & enforced. Also reviews EPA's challenges in implementing control tracking systems. This report examined the use, implementation, monitoring, & enforcement of controls at a sample of 268 sites. Charts & tables.
