The Superfund Act (CERCLA) was passed in 1980 to overcome deficiencies in previously enacted federal legislation. Although CERCLA authorized the government to recapture as much of the costs incurred in cleaning hazardous waste sites as possible, there were no specific guidelines for apportionment of these costs among multiple polluters. In their effort to enforce CERCLA, federal judges have exercised broad policy-making powers, & have interpreted CERCLA as a strict liability statute that creates a joint & several liability for responsible parties. Accordingly, the federal courts have developed a uniform federal common law for hazardous waste liability. 9 References. HA
