Getting Superfund Reauthorization Updates

["David Culp" <DCulp@nrdc.org>]

For Citizen Activists Working on DOE and DOD Cleanup Issues

For many years people have been telling you Congress was going to 
reauthorize Superfund "soon." It looks as if that may be true some 
time in this Congress. There is about an 85 percent chance of a 
Superfund bill ultimately seeing floor action in both the House and 
the Senate, and almost that strong a chance of actual legislation 
passing next year. The first committee markups may be in September.

As you know, Superfund is one of the major drivers for cleanup at DOE 
and DOD sites. The Superfund bills are likely to have federal 
facilities provisions.

Jacqueline Hamilton of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) 
is one of the few persons in the environmental community who tracks 
Superfund issues. She is the only one who does it full time. She is 
now sending out regular e-mail updates and alerts to a network of 
community activists.

If you would like Jacqueline to add you to her e-mail list, contact 
her at <jhamilton@nrdc.org> with your name, organization, address, 
phone, fax, and e-mail.

For those of you who have been standing on the Superfund sidelines, 
now is the time to weigh in.
