CERCLA

A quick definition of CERCLA:

Term: CERCLA

Definition: CERCLA is a law that makes people responsible for cleaning up places where hazardous waste has been dumped. It was made in 1980. Some people like the law because it helps keep people and the environment safe from dangerous waste. Other people don't like it because it can be very expensive and sometimes makes innocent people pay for cleanups that might not even work very well.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: CERCLA stands for Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980. This law makes people responsible for paying to clean up hazardous waste sites.

For example, if a company dumps toxic waste on a piece of land and it causes harm to people or the environment, they can be held liable for the cost of cleaning it up. This law helps protect people and the environment from the harmful effects of hazardous waste.

However, some people criticize CERCLA because it can be very expensive to clean up hazardous waste sites, and innocent parties may be held responsible for the cost of the cleanup.
