What’s the Connection? What elements might be in common among the photos? What elements might be different among the photos? How would you categorize these different types of waste? Use the chart to help you determine what type of waste is shown in the photo. Should different types of waste be managed differently? Why or Why not?

Superfund Site A hazardous waste site that may threaten local ecosystems or human health and has been placed by the U.S. EPA on the National Priorities List of polluted sites requiring cleanup.

United States Superfund Program December 11,1980 Purpose is to deal with a growing number of toxic waste sites around the country Part of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) This act allows EPA to clean up hazardous sites and to hold responsible parties financially responsible

Case Study: Love Canal Read article “ The Love Canal Tragedy” 1. List the acts that the U.S. EPA encouraged Congress to enact. 2. How does the Love Canal Tragedy still impact society today? 3. What can we learn from the history of Love Canal? 4. Who should be responsible for protecting societies from hazardous and toxic waste? Who should be responsible for protecting the environment? 5. Why might waste with long-term effects, such as nuclear waste, be especially difficult to manage? 6. What should be done when the waste impacts societies or environments far from the original Superfund site?
