Abstract
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly known as Superfund, was enacted by Congress on December 11, 1980, and provides Federal authority to respond directly to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances that may endanger public health or the environment. Sites contaminated with PCBs represent a significant number of the hazardous waste sites authorized for cleanup under CERCLA. This paper summarizes the overall decision-making process for developing cleanup plans for Superfund PCB sites. It discusses the Federal requirements that must be met in cleaning up Superfund PCB sites, remedial alternatives for PCB-contaminated National Priorities List (NPL) sites, and EPA guidance used in developing cleanup plans.
