Superfund and Brownfields in the 107th Congress

After four Congresses in which Superfund reauthorization was not achieved, the 107th Congress is focusing on the brownfields program to clean up less seriously contaminated sites. S. 350 passed the Senate on April 25, 2001. The bill provides $200 million per year for the program and relieves liability for contiguous property owners, prospective purchasers, and innocent landowners. An additional $50 million is provided for petroleum-contaminated sites.
