LOVE CANAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION.

SEC. 213. [42 U.S.C. 9661 note] LOVE CANAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION. (a) Congressional Findings.— (1) The area known as Love Canal located in the city of Niagara Falls and the town of Wheatfield, New York, was the first toxic waste site to receive national attention. As a result of that attention Congress investigated the problems associated with toxic waste sites and enacted CERCLA to deal with these problems. (2) Because Love Canal came to the Nation's attention prior to the passage of CERCLA and because the fund under CERCLA was not available to compensate for all of the hardships endured by the citizens in the area, Congress has determined that special provisions are required. These provisions do not affect the lawfulness, implementation, or selection of any other response actions at Love Canal or at any other facilities. (b) Amendment of Superfund.—[Added section 312 to CERCLA.]
