EPA removes 7 cleaned-up sites from Superfund list

[Free Vulcan]

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) partially or completely removed seven sites from its Superfund list last year.

The Superfund is part of a federal program which helps to clean up land that has been polluted with hazardous waste. The deletions of sites in 2017 — four partial and three complete — mean that the EPA judged those sites sufficiently cleaned up from past pollution.

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is touting the deletions as a victory in his mission to chip away at the 1,300 or so sites for which the agency is overseeing cleanups.

Good. 

Besides the highly-compensated EPA employees used to supervise the sites, the private companies who do the cleanup tend to be pro-environmental legislation as it pays the bills for them.

They also buddy up with groups like the Sierra Club to get even more environmental sites onto the list and try to make them stay there.

It is like watching sausage being made, a disgusting spectacle.
