I. INTRODUCTION
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act of. 1980 (CERCLA or Superfund) establishes
Federal authority to respond to the release or potential
release of hazardous substances, pollutants, or
contaminants into the environment. The Act establishes
the Hazardous Substance Response Trust Fund (Fund) to
finance response activities. Under Executive Order 12326,
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was assigned
primary responsibility for managing and implementing the
hazardous substance release cleanup effort.
Section 301{a)(1) of CERCLA requires the President to
submit a series of studies to Congress on the experience
with implementing the Act. The studies are intended to
provide- Congress with an assessment of. the accomplishments
and impacts of the Superfund program. Paragrapn (B) of
section 301(a)(1) specifically requires "a summary of past
receipts and disbursements from the Fund." Paragraph (D)
requires a study of the Superfund program's "record-and
experience in recovering Fund disbursements from liable
parties."
This report was designed to meet the requirements of
sections 301(a)(l)(B) and (D). Paragraphs (B) and (D)
have been combined into one study because both paragraphs,
in effect, call for a review of the financial aspects of
the Fund's uses and receipts. Since cost recoveries are
receipts into the Fund, the cost recovery summary required
by paragraph (D) supplements the summary of receipts
required by paragraph (B).

II. CERCLA SECTION 301(a)(1)(B) SUMMARY OF SUPERFUND
RECEIPTS, OBLIGATIONS, AND DISBURSEMENTS
The objective of the CERCLA section 301(a)(1)(B) study
is to present descriptive reports summarizing past
receipts into and disbursements from the Fund.
1. TRUST FUND RECEIPTS, OBLIGATIONS, AND DISBURSEMENTS
Exhibit A on the following page summarizes Fund
transactions by fiscal year and indicates:
Receipts - comprised of excise taxes levied on
various petrochemicals, inorganic raw materials,
arid crude oil and petroleum products; interest on
the invested balance of the Fund; recoveries from
responsible parties of funds spent to cleanup
hazardous suostance releases; appropriations from
the General Fund; and a one-time transfer from a
fund established by Section 311 of the Clean
Water Act.
Appropriations - the portion of the Trust Fund
made available by Congress for' obligation.
Obligations - legal commitments of the Fund for
specific response activities.
Disbursements - actual outlays of the Fund for
work completed.
By summarizing Fund receipts and disbursements,
Exhibit A fulfills the mandate of CERCLA section
301(a)(1)(B). Exhibit A also includes appropriations
because they represent the actual amount of the receipts
available for use, and obligations because they indicate
the entire amount of funds EPA is planning to disburse.
The receipt and disbursement data in Exhibit A were
compiled from the U.S. Department of Treasury monthly
reports. The monthly data were aggregated yearly for all
data elements except interest income. Since the Treasury
reports do not show receipts until they are actually
deposited into the Fund, they may not reflect the actual
interest income earned for that month. Although interest
on the Treasury Bill investments results from purchase of
the Bill at a discount and is not received and recorded
until the redemption (at the time of sale or maturity) of

the investment instrument, it is actually being earned
throughout the period from purchase to redemption. The
interest income reported in Exhibit A for a given fiscal
year includes the amount of interest paid into the Fund
during the fiscal year plus any unamortized interest
(interest earned but not yet paid) minus the unamortized
interest.included in the previous fiscal year.
The appropriation- and obligation data: were acquired
from EPA's Financial Management System. These totals are
end-of-year figures which do not include offsetting
collections from other Federal agencies or deobligations.
CERCLA sections 221 and 303 provide for maximum auth-
orizations for appropriations from the General Fund and
excise tax collections of $220 million and $1.38 billion,
respectively, by September 30, 1985.
Exhibit A shows that as of September 30, 1984, $1.2
billion in total receipts had been deposited into the Fund
and S520.7 million had been disbursed,, leaving a balance
of $691.3 million. The greatest portion of receipts,
$863.4 million or 71.2 percent, was derived from excise
taxes. Annual tax collections reached a high of $261.2
million in FY 1984, with projections, for- FY 1985 of $276.0
million. Interest receipts totaled $21.6.2 million for-the-
four fiscal years and at 17.8 percent were the second
largest category of receipts.
A total of $6.1 million, or .5 percent of total
receipts, had been collected from responsible parties and
deposited into the Fund as of September 30, 1984 with 56.3
percent of this total collected in FY 1984. EPA estimates
$46 million in cost recoveries for FY 1985. No fines or
penalties had been reported as Fund receipts.
Appropriations from the General Fund totaled $119.6
million and comprised 9.9 percent of receipts during the
four fiscal years while the 311 Fund transfer provided .6
percent of total receipts.
Congress appropriated (i.e., made funds available for
obligation) $934.7 million of the $1.2 billion in total
receipts over the four fiscal years. Of the $934.7
million appropriated, $916.9 million was obligated for
Superfund activities. EPA projects an estimated 39.8
percent increase in obligations in FY 1985. Disbursements
also increased each year and totaled $520.7 million for
the four fiscal years. The unexpended balance of the Fund
projected for FY 1985 is $640.3 million.

2. OBLIGATIONS AND DISBURSEMENTS BY SUPERFUND ACTIVITY
Exhibit B was developed to show how Fund money has
been used. Exhibit B presents obligations and disburse-
ments by Superfund activity. The obligation and dis-
bursement data in this exhibit were acquired from EPA's
Financial Management System (FMS). Both the obligation
and.disbursement data were supplemented by data on
transfer allocations (Transfer lAGs) of CERCLA funds
reported by other Federal agencies with Superfund respon-
sibilities (Interagency Support). Transfer lAGs are not
reported in FMS since they are not considered obligations
by EPA. Transfer lAGs are included in these exhibits
because they are a use of Fund money and wrll be obligated
and disbursed by the Federal agency to which the funds are
transferred. Only the obligations and disbursements
reported by the agency which received the transfer are
included.
Exhibit 3 indicates Superfund program obligations and
disbursements by the following program activities:
Hazardous Substance Response - This category
includes all activities associated with removal
and. remedial response actions. Removal actions
are short-term responses designed to prevent or
mitigate an immediate threat caused by the
release or potential release of hazardous
substances into the environment. Remedial
actions are longer-term responses designed to
provide a permanent remedy.
Enforcement - This category includes adminis-
trative and judicial efforts at specific sites
designed to induce privately-financed cleanups
and to reimburse the Fund for CERCLA-financed
cleanup actions.
Management and Support - This category includes
overall program management and administrative
support, training, and contingency planning.
Research and- Development - This category includes
scientific and technical support provided by
EPA's Office of Research and Development such as
the evaluation and field testing of equipment as
well as techniques for discovering, assessing,
preventing, removing, and disposing of hazardous
substances releases.

Interagency Support - This category includes
ongoing Superfund activities performed by other
Federal agencies.
Total obligations increased 27.4 percent between
FY 1982 and FY 1983 and more than doubled in FY 1984.
Specifically, in FY 1984, Hazardous Substance Response
obligations increased 108.5 percent. Interagency Support
obligations increased each fiscal, year, along with the
increase in Hazardous Substance Response. Obligations for
Enforcement to induce privately-financed cleanup and cost
recovery have also increased steadily since FY 1981.
As of September 30, 1984, $520.7 million had been
disbursed from the Fund for completed Superfund
activities. The greatest portion of Fund disbursements,
$384.7 million or 73.9 percent, were made for Hazardous
Substance Response. Disbursements from the Fund for work
completed increased 85.7 percent in FY 1983 and 93.0
percent in FY 1984.
3. INTERAGEHCY SUPPORT
Exhibit C-l presents the total amount of CERCLA funds
provided through Interagency Agreements (lAGs) to other
Federal agencies for ongoing Superfund activities. The
amount of each IAG and the amounts obligated and disbursed
by the agency receiving the funds are shown. Exhibit C-2
presents the yearly distribution of the lAGs, -obligations,
and disbursements.
Two types of lAGs have been used to fund Interagency
Support: Transfer lAGs and Reimbursable lAGs. Transfer
lAGs have funded the following ongoing Federal support
activities:
Services by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to
carryout portions of the Superfund program in-
tended to facilitate private party cleanup and
cost recoveries.
Oversight and technical support of response
actions in coastal and marine areas by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA).
Temporary and/or permanent relocation of indivi-
duals by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA).

Protection of personnel at Super.fund. sites- by the-
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), including development of specific health
and safety guidelines.
Reimbursable lAGs have funded United States Coast Guard
(USCG) on-site training, outfitting and enforcement
activities, as well as maintenance of the National
Response Center.
Exhibit C-l indicates that a total of $67.0 million
had been.provided to other Federal agencies for. Inter-
agency Support, $b3.5- million.had. been obligated and $38.4
million had been disoursed as of September' 30, 1984.. FEMA
received the greatest portion of funds (60.4 percent of
the total) , HHS received 21.9 percent of the total, DOJ
received. 8.4 percent of the total, and. USCG received 7.7
percent of the total-funds provided.
Exhibit C-2 shows that "FY 1983 was the first fiscal
year in which substantial Fund lAGs were made. Prior to
FY 1983, DOJ was the only agency to receive CERCLA funds.

III. CERCLA SECTION 301(a)(l)(D} REVIEW OF
COST RECOVERY ACTIONS
The objective of. the CERCLA Section 301 (a) (1) (D) study
is co present descriptive reports summarizing cost:
recoveries from liable parties.
Section 107 of CERCLA authorizes the recovery of costs
incurred by the Fund. In general/ section 107 provides
that past and present owners, operators, generators, and
transporters of hazardous substances may be liable for the
costs of removal or remedial actions undertaken at those
sites and for damages to, or loss of, natural resources.
Although the Agency generally favors actions that encour-
age responsible party cleanup efforts, EPA is authorized
to use CERCLA funds for removal or remedial cleanup
actions.. For, Fund-financed cleanups, SPA attempts to
document and recover the maximum practicaole amount: of
money due to the Fund from responsible parties that may be
liable under section 107 of CERCLA.
Cost recovery includes any settlement or legal judge-
ment whereby a responsible party deposits money into the
Fund to cover CERCLA response cos-ts. In other words, a
cost recovery includes (1) money from responsible parties
that reimburses the Fund for actual cleanup costs incurred
as well as (2) upfront payments into the Fund from respon-
sible parties to finance cleanup actions.
Exhibits D, E, and F of the 301(a)(1)(D) study do not
include information on other private party response
actions, where the parties either perform the cleanup
activity or establish an escrow account to privately-
finance the response activity. To date, the Agency has
successfully negotiated private party responses worth an
estimated $300 million. The 301(a)(l)(A) study which
evaluates the overall effectiveness of the Superfund
program provides a more comprehensive discussion of
private party response actions.
1. SUPERFUND COST RECOVERY STRATEGY
The figures presented here should be reviewed in the
context of the Superfund cost recovery strategy. During
the initial years of the Superfund program, cost recovery
efforts were considered part of negotiations for a
remedy. Cost recovery agreements, if pursued/ were
generally incorporated as one part of broader settlement
agreements or legal judgements.
-11-
-------
Cost recovery efforts were not priority activities in
the initial years of the Superfund program for two
reasons. First, initial Fund-financed removals were
generally limited to emergencies that required a slow rate
o: Fund expenditures, so cost recovery of these actions
was not emphasized. Second, initial program policies
resulted in a slow rate of Fund expenditures for remedial
activities- EPA chose to wait until the remedial response
was entirely or. substantially complete before initiating-
remedial cost recovery efforts. Since remedial actions
take several years to complete, cost recovery efforts have
only recently been initiated for these actions.
More recently, EPA began placing greater emphasis on
the importance of cost recovery actions. In 1983, EPA
increased the level of Fund-financed removal and remedial
activity with greater reliance on cost recovery as a means
of keeping the Fund solvent. The increased removal
activity placed greater demands on the Fund which resulted
in. gr.eater. emphasis on cost recovery efforts..
CERCL'A cost recovery efforts often involve complex and.
lengthy legal procedures. Generally, these efforts in-
clude three elements: documentation, issuance of a demand
letter,- and settlement with responsible parties. Complete
documentation requires that the.government document all
costs it incurred, document any release or threat of
release of a hazardous substance and the resultant
lia'bility of the responsible parties, and provide doc-
umentation to rebut the contention that site work was not
consistent with the National Contingency Plan which
implements CERCLA. EPA routinely issues a demand letter
to parties liable for response costs summarizing the costs
incurred and demanding payment for those costs. In
response, liable parties may pursue negotiations for cost
recovery settlement with EPA. If this approach fails, EPA
refers the case to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for
appropriate litigation. These legal procedures are often
complicated by the presence of more than one responsible
party.
2. SUMMARY OF COST RECOVERY ACTIONS
Exhibit D summarizes successful CERCLA section 107
cost recovery civil actions, as well as those actions
filed by DOJ, referred to DOJ, or in development (to be
referred to DOJ) at the end of FY 1984.
As of September 30, 1984, a total of 155 cost recovery
actions had been initiated to recover funds valued at
approximately $144.4 million. Of the 155 actions, 33 were
-12-
-------
successful cost recovery settlements/judgements for a
total of $6,641,196. In addition, 77 section 107 actions
had been filed, 26 actions were pending (had been referred
to DOJ), and 19 actions were in development (to be
referred to DOJ). The approximate dollar value of these
actions are $117 million, $13 million, and $7 million,
respectively.
3. COST RECOVERY SETTLEMENTS/JUDGEMENTS
Exhibit E presents successful cost recovery actions by
region, site and fiscal year. As indicated earlier, cost
recovery settlements/judgements had been reached at
33 sites for a total of $6,641,196 as of September 30,
1984. During FY 1981, there was one cost recovery
settlement/judgement for $30,000. During FY 1982, there
were three cost recovery settlements/judgements for a
total of $2,409,688 compared to 13 cost recovery
settlements/judgements in FY 1983 for $2,155,133. During
FY 1984, 16 settlements/judgements were reached to recover
response costs of $2,046,375.
Many of these successful cost recoveries represent
only partial reimbursement by a portion of the responsible
parties at each site. _The non-settling parties will
generally be pursued for cost recovery. Of the 33 sites
for which cost recovery has occurred, 23 sites are on.
EPA's National Priorities List (NPL), and 18 sites (NPL
and non-NPL) have had a removal action taken'.
EPA reports successful cost recoveries when
settlements/judgements are reached. Exhibit E indicates
the sites where a portion of the cost recovery has not yet
been received from the responsible parties (i.e.,
collections outstanding).
4. COST RECOVERY ACTIONS FILED BY DOJ
Exhibit F provides an account of the actions filed by
DOJ, including the site and approximate dollar value of
recovery sought by EPA. As of September 30, 1984, there
were 77 section 107 actions filed by DOJ. Of the 77
actions filed, 48 apply to sites on the NPL and 52 apply
to sites (NPL and non-NPL) where a removal action has been
taken.
