In 1980, Congress enacted the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, more commonly-known as the Superfund Act) to clean up the nation's hazardous waste sites and provide emergency response to chemical releases from these sites. In 1986, Congress reauthorized and expanded the CERCLA with the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act (SARA). SARA Title III, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, establishes emergency response planning committees, provides for the reporting of hazardous chemicals and quantities at each facility, and mandates that emergency response plans be developed for each facility containing a certain quantity of an EPA-designated Extremely Hazardous Substance.
