New Jersey has 114 federal Superfund sites, more than any other state
Superfund sites are considered the most polluted places in America, and New Jersey has more than any other state. When the cleanup program was created in the 1980s, the idea was to have polluters — not taxpayers — pay for the work. But Congress let that tax expire in the mid-90s. Now it’s being revived as part of the new federal infrastructure law.
