GAO also obtained information on the nature and the extent of the threat they pose to human health and the environment; any cleanup actions that EPA and the states may have taken at the sites; and any cleanup plans that EPA and the states have for them, including possible placement on the National Priorities List. GAO also provides information on sites whose placement on the National Priorities List has been blocked by state governors. Finally, GAO identifies sites classified as awaiting a National Priorities List decision as of October 1997 that are unlikely to become eligible for the list and explains why they are unlikely to become eligible.<bpg> https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-99-22/html/GAOREPORTS-RCED-99-22.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-99-22/pdf/GAOREPORTS-RCED-99-22.pdf GAO/RCED-99-22 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-RCED-99-22 Letter Report GAO/RCED-99-22; Hazardous Waste: Information on Potential Superfund Sites; Hazardous substances Pollution control Water quality Federal/state relations Surveys Environmental policies Environmental monitoring Health hazards Waste disposal EPA National Priorities List Superfund Program
