What does the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (Superfund) provide?

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly known as Superfund, specifically provides federal funds to address the cleanup of hazardous waste sites. This legislation was enacted in 1980 to manage the response to incidents involving hazardous waste and to ensure that the responsible parties for such waste contamination are held liable for the costs associated with cleanup.

By allocating federal tax dollars for remediation efforts, Superfund allows for the swift and coordinated cleanup of contaminated sites to protect public health and the environment. The program focuses on identifying polluted sites, assessing the risk they pose, and orchestrating remediation efforts to restore these areas for safe use.

The other options do not accurately represent the primary purpose of the Superfund program, as they pertain to different types of funding and incentives that are not directly related to the cleanup of hazardous waste sites.
