The Federal Superfund

The residential community of Love Canal, near Niagara Falls, was built during the 1950s and 1960s on top of a chemical deposit sealed in clay. After years of odors and skin irritation among residents, New York State investigated and found toxic hazardous waste. This event led to the subsequent development of the Federal Superfund for cleaning and containing hazardous waste sites across the U.S.
