Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Superfund Program to determine whether EPA: (1) used its enforcement tools effectively to clean up hazardous waste sites; (2) could do a better job of recovering cleanup costs from potentially responsible parties; and (3) had the necessary framework to plan, manage, and oversee the program. GAO found that EPA: (1) continued to have problems with the adequacy and timeliness of its search for potentially responsible parties liable for site cleanup; (2) inconsistently tracked and followed up on the information request letters it used to establish potential liability; (3) did not fully document its reasons for not using unilateral administrative orders to compel responsible-party site cleanup; (4) did not timely issue special-notice letters used to start negotiations for responsible-party cleanups; and (5) had accounting system problems that hampered its efforts to recover the Superfund money it used to clean up contaminated sites.

Book excerpt: Under the Superfund program, the EPA places the most seriously contaminated sites on the National Priorities List. EPA may compel site cleanups by parties responsible for contamination, or conduct cleanups itself and have these parties reimburse its costs. The program is funded by a trust fund, which is largely supported by general fund appropriations. This report examines: (1) EPA's enforcement action outcomes and the factors parties consider in reaching these outcomes; (2) any trends in litigation to resolve Superfund liability; and (3) the program's status and costs. The report obtained and analyzed Superfund program data from EPA, as well as data on Superfund litigation from cases filed in U.S. district courts. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only published work that treats the historical evolution of EPA enforcement, this book provides a candid inside glimpse of a crucial aspect of the work of an important federal agency.

Book Enforcement at the EPA

Download or read book Enforcement at the EPA written by Joel A. Mintz and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the first comprehensive history of a difficult and often neglected part of EPA's responsibilities - the enforcement of federal environmental standards. Drawing on extensive interviews with the political appointees, administrators, and staff who have provided the agency's direction, as well as his own professional experience with EPA, Joel A. Mintz explores the historical evolution of the agency's enforcement program, its institutional setting within the larger political arena, and its current strengths and shortcomings. This history will be important reading for students of political science, public policy, environmental law, administrative law, anthropology, sociology, and related fields. It should also be read by attorneys who represent parties in enforcement cases initiated by EPA, by the agency's own managers and professional staff, and by public citizens concerned with environmental issues.
