Superfund Sample Clauses

Superfund. Among other things, Superfund generally provides for the remediation of sites from which there has been a release or threatened release of a hazardous substance into the environment. Superfund imposes joint and several liability for the costs of remediation and for damages to natural resources upon the present and former owners or operators of facilities or sites from which there is a release or threatened release of hazardous substances. Waste generators and waste transporters are also strictly liable. Under the authority of CERCLA, detailed requirements apply to the manner and degree of remediation of facilities and sites where hazardous substances have been or are threatened to be released into the environment. Liability under CERCLA is not dependent upon the intentional disposal of "hazardous wastes," as defined under RCRA. It can be founded upon a release or threatened release, even as a result of lawful, unintentional, and non-negligent action, of any one of more than 700 "hazardous substances," including very small quantities of such substances. CERCLA requires the EPA to establish a National Priorities List ("NPL") of sites at which hazardous substances have been or are threatened to be released and which require investigation or remediation. The EPA's primary way of determining whether a site is to be included on the NPL is the Hazard Ranking System, which evaluates the relative potential for a release of hazardous substances to pose a threat to human health or the environment pursuant to a scoring system based on factors grouped into three categories: (1) likelihood of release, (2) hazardous substance characteristics, and (3) receptors. As of February 1999, the EPA had proposed or identified approximately 10,000 sites for preliminary assessment. These sites are compiled on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System ("CERCLIS") list. The identification of a site on the CERCLIS list indicates only that the site has been brought to the attention of the EPA and will undergo an assessment of environmental conditions thereon, but it does not necessarily mean that an actual health or environmental threat currently exists or has ever existed. More than 23% of the sites on the NPL are solid waste landfills. Thus, even if the Company's landfills have never received "hazardous wastes" as such, one or more hazardous substances may have come to be located at its landfills.
