IG Report Adds To Activists' Calls To Revisit Past EPA Cleanup Decisions

摘要

A new EPA Inspector General (IG) report that found two of five former Superfund sites surveyed with a new technology may need additional cleanup work is bolstering environmentalists' claims that the agency should reevaluate whether additional contaminated sites need more cleanup work than once thought, activists say. The Aug. 3 "early warning report," titled Observed Conditions at Five Deleted Superfund Sites, also suggests that EPA should be demanding more stringent cleanups at current and future sites where initial remediation is not yet complete, the environmentalists say.
