Excerpt from A Legislative History of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-499), Vol. 4: Together With a Section-by-Section Index, Prepared by the Environment and Natural Resources Policy Division of the Congressional Research Service of the Library of CongressDuring the late l97os, Federal laws then in existence were found to be inadequate for dealing with the problem of abandoned toxic waste sites such as Love Canal in Niagara Falls, New York and the Valley of the Drums in Brooks, Kentucky. Special funds in other statutes were simply inadequate for meeting the large costs of cleaning up the thousands of often buried and corroding drums of toxic wastes found at these sites, and so were the laws that would have allowed regulators to hold those responsible for these toxic dumps - the generators, transporters and waste site Opera tors - for the costs of cleaning them up.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
