Superfund Sites

Go to the Superfund site maintained by the EPA at http://www.epa.gov/superfund/sites/npl/npl.htm
1. Click on your state. How many National Priority List (NPL) sites occur near where you live? Where are they? Which ones did you already know about?
2. Click on a site near you to see a fact sheet. What types of pollution does this site have? From what sources? How old is the problem? What is being done, or what has been done to clean up the site?
