Who cleans up a Superfund site?
Superfund cleanups are very complex and require the efforts of many experts in science, engineering, public health, management, law, community relations, and numerous other fields. There are a number of groups within EPA and other government agencies that play a leading role in Superfund site cleanups. EPA has specialists spread out across the ten EPA regions in the country who are responsible for cleanup activities, including On-Scene Coordinators, Community Relations Coordinators, and Site Assessment specialists. National teams of specialists from the EPA, the U.S. Coast Guard, The U.S. Corps of Engineers, and ATSDR take part in Superfund cleanup efforts too.
