Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-005691

Letters that provide any releasable information EPA has about a site, what that information means, and the likelihood that EPA will take Federal Superfund action. Comfort/ status letters are used when (1) they may facilitate cleanup and redevelopment of brownfields, (2) there is a realistic perception or probability of incurring Superfund liability, and (3) no other mechanism could adequately address a party's concerns.
