Many affected communities believe their needs are not being met by the Superfund (or other environmental) program. This is particularly the case for Environmental Justice communities. In summary, the following issues have been raised regarding scope and established process of the Superfund program: current benefits are generally limited to human and ecological health improvements from site remediation; and cumulative risk (from the site and other sources) is not often considered in risk assessment and remedy selection at the site, which may particularly affect minority and low income communities.
