Love Canal, NY: The Beginning
of CERCLA/Superfund Law
of CERCLA/Superfund Law
In addition, Superfund allocates liability of persons/corporations responsible for
releases of hazardous waste at sites. Those liable could include:
· the current owner or operator of the site (Section 107(a)(1));
· the owner or operator of a site at the time that disposal of a hazardous
substance, pollutant or contaminant occurred (Section 107(a)(2);
· a person who arranged for the disposal of a hazardous substance, pollutant
or contaminant at a site (Section 107(a)(3)); and
· a person who transported a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant to
a site; that transporter must have also selected that site for the disposal of
the hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants (Section
107(a)(4)).
Taylor & Hammel LLC serves our clients by locating information on the historical
operations and activities of Superfund sites, researching whether there were other
"potentially responsible parties" that owned or operated the site, and/or if any
surrounding industry may have contributed to the release of hazardous substances.
In addition to identifying other "potentially responsible parties," using historical and
contemporary resources we track down any and all existing corporate successors
in order to identify all viable entities that could share the cost of clean-up.

projects Taylor & Hammel LLC undertakes

(CERCLA), enacted on December 11, 1980,
provides federal officials with the authority
to respond directly to releases of hazardous
substances that may endanger the public
health or environment.
