ABSTRACT

Being named as a Superfund site Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) is the beginning of a difficult experience. Although participating in a Superfund cleanup is an extended, trying, and costly undertaking, there are ways to minimize the costs involved. You can best deal with the situation by understanding what it means to be a PRP, by being aware of your options, and by taking appropriate action. This paper briefly discusses the PRP experience and offers suggestions on ways to effectively deal with the situation.
