List of Superfund sites in Wisconsin
Encyclopedia
This is a list of Superfund sites in Wisconsin designated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) environmental law. The CERCLA federal law of 1980 authorized the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) to create a list of polluted
locations requiring a long-term response to clean-up hazardous material contaminations. These locations are known as Superfund
sites, and are placed on the National Priorities List
(NPL). The NPL guides the EPA in "determining which sites warrant further investigation" for environmental remediation. As of March 26, 2010, there were 38 Superfund sites on the National Priorities List in Wisconsin
. One additional site has been proposed for entry on the list. Six sites have been cleaned up and removed from the list.
