Only sites ______ can be cleaned up using the Superfund Trust Fund.

Only sites ______ can be cleaned up using the Superfund Trust Fund.

• A. On the Brownfields list
• B. On the NPL
• C. On the EPA priority list
• D. On the Private List

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that the Superfund Trust Fund funds cleanups for sites that have been designated as priorities under CERCLA. Those sites appear on the National Priorities List, which is the official roster of hazardous releases identified for long-term cleanup. Because the fund is tied to that list, only sites on the National Priorities List are eligible for Superfund cleanup with Trust Fund money, especially when responsible parties can’t pay. Other terms like Brownfields refer to redevelopment-focused cleanup funded by different programs, not the Superfund; an EPA priority list or a Private List aren’t recognized as the eligibility standard for Superfund funding.
