New Jersey Superfund Sites on the National Priorities List

In 1980, Congress enacted the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly known as the Superfund, in response to the dangers of uncontrolled or abandoned contaminated sites. CERCLA was amended in 1986 by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). CERCLA and SARA require that a National Priorities List (NPL) of sites throughout the United States be maintained and revised at least annually. This document lists the 113 sites located in New Jersey that are on the National Priorities List
