National Priorities List

Read a random definition: stirpal

A quick definition of National Priorities List:

National Priorities List: A list created by the Environmental Protection Agency that identifies the most serious hazardous waste sites that need to be cleaned up. These sites are called Superfund sites and may require long-term remediation. The NPL helps prioritize which sites need the most attention to protect people and the environment from harmful pollutants.

A more thorough explanation:

The National Priorities List (NPL) is a list created by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that identifies the most serious hazardous waste sites in the United States. These sites are considered to be uncontrolled or abandoned and require long-term remediation to protect public health and the environment.

For example, the Love Canal in New York was added to the NPL in 1983. This site was once a chemical waste dump that contaminated the surrounding soil and water with toxic chemicals. The EPA has been working to clean up the site for over 30 years.

Another example is the West Lake Landfill in Missouri, which was added to the NPL in 1990. This site contains radioactive waste from the Manhattan Project and has been a source of concern for nearby residents for decades. The EPA is currently working on a plan to address the contamination at the site.

The NPL is an important tool for identifying and addressing hazardous waste sites in the United States. By prioritizing the most serious sites for cleanup, the EPA can help protect public health and the environment from the harmful effects of hazardous waste.
