| • | From epa.gov:
“Years ago, people were less aware |
||||||||
| of how dumping
chemical wastes might affect |
|||||||||
| public health and
the environment. On thousands |
|||||||||
| of properties
where such practices were intensive |
|||||||||
| or continuous,
the result was uncontrolled or |
|||||||||
| abandoned
hazardous waste sites, such as |
|||||||||
| abandoned warehouses and
landfills.” |
|||||||||
| • | The superfund was
created by taxing industry to |
||||||||
| pay for the clean
up of abandoned sites |
