Superfund sounds like a fund but its not. It’s just a list, put out by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), of the most toxic sites in America.

Remember Love Canal. That’s when Superfund started.

Superfund doesn’t have the money to pay for costly clean-ups that go on for years. But it’s their job to identify the polluters, who are responsible for the mess and go after them. They are, truly, the Toxic Avengers.

That can, of course, be a little tricky. Some of those companies aren’t even in business anymore.

Last summer during initial meetings about Superfund status for the Gowanus, the agency identified Con Ed, National Grid, Chemtura, the U.S. Navy for some World War II-related uses and the City of New York as major polluters of the Gowanus.

All the usual suspects in these parts.

But now there are more. Plenty more. On Thursday night at the  meeting at PS 58 on Smith Street, the EPA revealed more polluters. Walter Mugdan, the regional director of the Superfund program, and an impressive leader for this endeavor, announced that Kraft Foods and Citigroup might have to foot part of the bill for the $500-million that could take as long as 12 years.

Yowza.
