CERCLA Section 106 orders

CERCLA Section 106 orders are legal directives issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to compel responsible parties to clean up hazardous waste sites when there is an immediate threat to public health or the environment. If the responsible parties do not act voluntarily, the EPA can take action to remedy the situation and may seek to recover cleanup costs later. These orders are crucial for ensuring timely responses to environmental emergencies, protecting communities and ecosystems from contamination risks.
