Hazardous Waste Cleanup Programs Around the Nation

Key Information

New Name, Same Mission

In October 2024, EPA changed the name of its “Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action Program” to the “Hazardous Waste Cleanup Program.” This rebranding is intended to increase broad understanding of the purpose of the program.

Resources

  • Learn about the Hazardous Waste Cleanup Program.

  • Progress Track - list of all hazardous waste cleanup facilities.
  • Enforcement of hazardous waste cleanups.
  • Search for hazardous waste cleanup facilities.
  • Facility maps, reports, and key documents from EPA's Cleanups in My Community online database.
  • Sign up for our newsletter for the latest EPA waste news.

EPA, states, and territories work with facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes to investigate and clean up hazardous releases at their facilities in accordance with state and federal requirements. States and territories are authorized by EPA to lead Hazardous Waste Cleanup Programs if EPA determines that a state’s program is equivalent to the federal program. EPA leads cleanups with federal cleanup orders or at the state’s request. Hazardous waste cleanups are largely enforced through statutory authorities established by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
