New Jersey Senate Resolution urges EPA to use Superfund settlement funds for site remediation, not administrative costs.

The resolution urges the federal Environmental Protection Agency to use funds from New Jersey Superfund settlements specifically for remediating the contaminated sites in question. It emphasizes the importance of limiting settlement expenditures for agency administrative and oversight costs. The resolution highlights New Jersey's significant number of Superfund sites needing remediation and advocates for the EPA to follow best practices by capping administrative costs at 10% of the settlement's total value.
