The name “Superfund site” comes from legislation Congress passed in 1980 creating a “Superfund” program at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to identify and clean up hazardous waste sites. Since industry and waste tend to follow people, Superfund sites are often concentrated in highly populated areas.
