How do the Superfund Reforms affect the average citizen?
The reforms benefit citizens who live near Superfund sites by expediting cleanups, increasing community involvement in cleanup decisions, and bringing increased economic benefits to communities, both during cleanup and afterwards. The reforms also benefit all citizens by forcing those responsible for pollution to pay for cleanup, reducing the amount of taxpayers’ money spent on cleanups. Finally, the reforms help ensure that all citizens can enjoy a safe environment without unnecessary costs.
