BROWNFIELD: Real property, the
expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may
be complicated by the presence or potential
presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or
contaminant.
SUPERFUND: The name given to
the environmental program established to
address abandoned hazardous waste sites.
It is also the name of the fund established by
the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). This
law was enacted in the wake of the discovery of
toxic waste dumps in the 1970s. It allows the EPA
to clean up such sites and to compel responsible
parties to perform cleanups or reimburse the
government for EPA-lead cleanups.
