Superfund Liability Protection

The Superfund Laws have recently been amended such that scrap metal alone is no longer considered to be a cause of pollution.

However, protection from liability under the Superfund Law for those companies that generate scrap requires they document that the facility to which they send their scrap is in substantial and documented compliance with all federal, state, and local environmental laws.

In other words, if your company generates scrap, your liability is dependant upon the compliance of your recycler.
