For millions of Americans — not just those in Niagara Falls, N.Y., Houston and Denver — the notorious names Love Canal, The San Jacinto Waste Pits and Rocky Flats conjure fear of hazardous materials and cancer. These toxic dumping grounds have all at one point been on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) “Superfund” list of sites to clean up.
From the inception of the Superfund program in 1980 through 1995, the industries that created products that emit poisonous pollution paid for the program through a “polluter pays” tax. But since that tax expired 26 years ago, too often, you and I have largely footed the bill.
