Superfund Program Review

In November 2012, the Superfund Remedial program initiated a comprehensive review of its operations (the Superfund Program Review Action Plan or SPR) to identify options to maintain its effectiveness in achieving its core mission of protecting human health and the environment in the face of reduced funding. The SPR was released November 2013 and builds on recommendations from the 2010 OSWER Integrated Cleanup Initiative (ICI), incorporates actions from ongoing efforts, and includes unique actions developed under the program review.

In June 2015, the SPR First Status Report was released. This document presents outcomes of implementing a number of the actions described in the November 2013 SPR. It also describes ongoing SPR efforts and projects future outcomes anticipated in FY 2015 and beyond.*

*Updates to web links were made to the SPR First Status Report on September 30 to reflect new link locations.
