Welcome to the new home page of The Montana Federal Superfund Bureau. Our Web site has under gone some changes and we encourage the public to explore the site through these tabs.

The tabs below provide a variety of links to information under The Federal Superfund Program. Included are links to other web sites that have information related to Federal Superfund. The purpose of this website is to provide information and news about Montana Federal Superfund Program.

In 1980, the US Congress enacted the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, (CERCLA) 42 U.S.C. sections 9601-9657 in response to the dangers of uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. CERCLA was amended in 1986 by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, (SARA) Public Law No. 99-499 stat. 1613 et seq.  There are eighteen Federal Superfund sites in Montana. The department also has 5 sites that our bureau handles that are not on the National Priority list of Federal Superfund sites. The goals of the Federal Superfund Bureau is to:

  • Provide technical and management assistance to EPA for remedial investigations and cleanup actions at NPL (Superfund) sites maintained in federal-lead status.
