What do Archived sites mean to potential purchasers, lenders and insurers?
The archived designation does not indicate a clean bill of health on a site. It merely means that the U.S. EPA does not intend to list the site on the NPL. Archived also means that based upon available information, further investigatory activities under the federal Superfund program are not anticipated. Archived sites may be reexamined later if warranted, and additional federal steps may be taken at the site if subsequent information indicates that the Archived designation needs to be revised.
