Backing up his commitment to improve the federal Superfund program, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt has issued a list of 21 Superfund sites that he has “targeted for immediate and intense attention.” The list comprises at least one site in each of EPA’s 10 regions; New Jersey has the most sites with three; Montana has two; and each of the remaining states on the list has one site. According to the EPA, this is not a list of the 21 largest or most polluted Superfund sites in the nation. Rather, in developing the list, the Agency considered sites “with critical upcoming milestones or site-specific actions that will benefit from the Administrator’s engagement or directed attention to facilitate near-term progress.”
