Preparing Superfund for Climate Change Act of 2026

This bill changes the federal Superfund law, which governs the cleanup of hazardous waste sites. When choosing a cleanup plan for a site, officials would have to consider threats to human health and the environment from local natural disasters and extreme weather, including projected changes due to climate change. During the periodic reviews of completed cleanups, the President would have to assess whether the chosen cleanup still protects people and the environment, taking these disasters, weather hazards, and climate change projections into account.
