Urban land use and superfund cleanups

Article Abstract:

Congressional legislators have proposed changes to the ways in which funds are used to clean up toxic waste sites. The program devised by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Superfund statute, has not succeeded as well as originally intended. Proposals in the late 1990s suggest clean-up strategies should be developed in tandem with site redevelopment strategies. Economic incentives and increased public involvement in transforming toxic waste sites would better ensure success.
