Abstract
ABSTRACT
The Superfund program is at once both one of the most visible and one of the least understood of all environmental programs administered by the federal government. Despite the near universal recognition Superfund enjoys, especially among people living near priority hazardous sites, there is a broad misconception about its accomplishments.
