Federal Facilities and Superfund Programs
Federal Facilities refer to those remediation sites in Maine that are currently or formerly owned by the Federal government or are on EPA’s National Priorities List or NPL sites (generally known as superfund sites). Superfund sites are cleaned up according to the regulations set forth in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). Maine DEP is a co-regulator with EPA on Superfund sites. Maine DEP is the lead regulator on non-NPL Federal Facilities sites. Non-NPL federal facility sites typically include Formerly Utilized Defense Sites (FUDS) which were owned or operated by the US Department of Defense prior to October 17, 1986. Non-NPL Federal Facilities sites also include National Guard sites and sites owned by other Federal agencies such as the US Coast Guard.
Sites currently or formerly owned by the US Department of Defense are managed under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP).
