Superfund Program Management

Abstract

This report is one of the high-risk series reports, which summarize our findings and recommendations. It describes our concerns over the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) management of the Superfund program. In view of the escalating costs of hazardous waste cleanups and the growing constraints on federal resources, it focuses on the need for informed judgments to allocate resources among competing environmental protection needs. It also discusses EPA's limited recovery of Superfund cleanup costs from private parties and inadequate attention to contract management.
