Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980: A federal law passed in 1980 and modified in 1986 by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). The act created a special tax that goes into a trust (Superfund) to investigate and cleanup inactive, abandoned, or uncontrolled hazardous waste sites that may present a danger to public health and the environment. The CERCLA process is intended to ensure that contaminated sites are cleaned up in a timely manner, cleanup objectives are reasonable and achievable, and the affected community participates in selection of the removal measure(s), as appropriate for the site. |
